Celebrating 35 years of your impact
In 2026, we’re proud to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Meriter Pro/Am Golf Classic – a tradition built on compassion, community and care.
This year’s event will benefit the Baby & Family Care Program and Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at UnityPoint Health – Meriter, helping ensure every baby gets the healthiest possible start in life.
Your participation makes that impact possible. Every swing, every sponsorship and every show of support helps provide Birthing and NICU families with the comfort, care and resources they need to focus on what matters most – their precious babies.
In 2025, your generous support through the Meriter Pro/Am Golf Classic raised over $150,000 for infants and their loved ones at Meriter.
