This year, The Master's Cup will be held on July 10, 2023, at Leawood's Ironhorse Golf Club. The proceeds from this event benefit the Heart to Heart Scholarship Fund, through the Catholic Foundation of Northeast Kansas, which helps ease the financial burdens that come with being a college seminarian, as well as for women and men entering religious life in the archdiocese.
This year's event features film producer, Jim Wahlberg, who will be speaking after lunch. Jim aims to serve God by writing, speaking, filmmaking, and serving our community. He serves as the executive director of the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, which was created to improve the quality of life for inner-city youth through a working partnership with other youth organizations.
There are several sponsorship levels to choose from and all the details can be found on the website: https://www.jocoserra.org/2023-Masters-Cup.
