The 2026 Mary Wilson Golf Classic was a huge success! We couldn’t have asked for a better group of supporters or a better day on the course.

Thanks to our incredible participants, sponsors, volunteers, donors, and everyone who helped make the day possible, we raised over $158,000 to support First Tee - Western New York and our mission to Build Game Changers across Western New York.

We are so grateful to everyone who came out, played, supported, and celebrated with us. Your generosity helps us continue providing young people with opportunities to build confidence, resilience, healthy habits, and life skills through the game of golf.

Thank you for making the 2026 Mary Wilson Golf Classic one to remember!

Pop Warner is synonymous with football. But to his hometown of Springville, NY, his real claim to fame is Springville Country Club.

In 1922, Warner led 180 Springville residents to purchase 150 acres of old railroad land along the Cattaraugus Bridge. He became the club’s first president and co-designed its original nine holes (including a rare “19th hole” still used today).

A century later, the course still carries his fingerprints.
