Invest in the Future of CNY's Children and Youth: 2024 Golfless Tournament Fundraiser
Mercy Works is thrilled to announce the 2024 Golfless Tournament, our primary fundraising initiative that supports essential programming at the Clarence Jordan Vision Center. This unique event provides a fantastic opportunity for individuals and organizations to make a significant impact on the lives of children and youth in Syracuse, New York, all without ever stepping onto a golf course.
