Each summer, our hospitality partners, vendors, and friends come together for a tournament that blends golf with a great purpose, raising critical support for Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities.

This year’s event will continue a legacy that began in 2003 with founder Bill Morrissey’s commitment to community, opportunity, and authentic hospitality. More than two decades later, that spirit remains the heart of this tournament.

About the Golf Classic

Over more than two decades, the Morrissey Hospitality Golf Classic has raised more $700,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Twin Cities. Their mission — to enable young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens — has always inspired Morrissey Hospitality’s leadership and partners.

The tournament brings together many of the region’s top food and beverage brands for a full day of golf, hospitality, and philanthropy.

Exciting on-course contests, tasting experiences, and an incredible silent auction make this tournament one of the Twin Cities’ standout charity golf events. Every contribution directly supports the Boys & Girls Clubs’ life-changing programs.
