Supporting the Kent ISD Oral Deaf Program

Annual GROD PTO Golf Classic

Our Biggest Fundraiser of the Year

For more than 30 years, the Annual Golf Classic has been the Grand Rapids Oral Deaf PTO’s largest fundraiser. Each spring, golfers, sponsors, families, and volunteers come together to support children in the Kent ISD Oral Deaf Program. The funds raised help provide essential classroom technology, audiology equipment, family engagement events, professional development for staff, and resources that strengthen listening and spoken-language learning for children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Whether you’re a golfer, sponsor, donor, or volunteer, your support directly impacts our students and their ability to learn, grow, and thrive.

Your participation helps fund:

  • Audiology and classroom technology

  • Kindermusik for preschoolers
