CARE for Children Golf Outing

Brenden Stidd, age 8, is receiving instruction from PGA Professional Kirk Stauffer at CARE for Children's 8th annual adaptive golf outing for children of all abilities held Wednesday evening at Pine Acres Golf Course. Brenden is the son of Christy Keck and Bob Stidd of Bradford.

Eighteen children hit balls on the driving range, sank short shots on the putting green, and played a hole on the course. Children and family members were treated to dinner on the patio after the outing, which was sponsored by the Bradford Rotary Club. The adaptive golf outing is one of several free therapeutic recreation events that CARE holds each year for local children.

CARE for Children is a non-profit organization that provides community outreach services; early learning programs; and pediatric health and therapy services in McKean County and the surrounding region.
