Donald Danforth, Jr. dedicated his
life to helping others. He was especially devoted to helping youth. He
committed much of his life to advancing and supporting the mission, programs
and people of the American Youth Foundation, serving on the Board of
Directors from 1962 to 2001.
Don also loved the game of golf, and we are honored and privileged to host
this memorial golf tournament bearing his name, for a cause that was so near
and dear to his heart. We are proud to report that in its first six years,
the tournament has allowed us to raise over $500,000 for scholarships, and
Don’s legacy lives on through the support of this event each year.
Hit ‘em straight!
You are cordially invited to participate in the seventh annual Donald
Danforth, Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament benefiting the American Youth
Foundation. We expect this event to be one of the best golf outings in St.
Louis.
For over 80 years the American Youth Foundation (AYF) has been developing
the character of St. Louis youth to influence others through lives of
service. Each year, AYF’s Camps and Leadership Conferences attract hundreds
of children and youth from around the world. Research documents that AYF
programs develop personal effectiveness, openness to diversity and social
responsibility.
Last year, the AYF provided more than
$250,000 in scholarships to our youth. This year, our goal is to serve more
children by providing even MORE scholarships for AYF Camps and Leadership
Conferences. We need your help. Your participation in our Donald Danforth,
Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament will help make this possible.
All levels of sponsorship will be recognized on signs at the event as well
as in the printed program. More importantly, you will help AYF continue to
have an impact on young people.
