Save the Date: Monday, April 27, 2026!
To everyone who helped make the 6th Annual Biddle Memorial Golf Tournament such a meaningful success—thank you. From the morning tee time to a heartfelt evening dinner and auction, the day was filled with laughter, generosity, and the spirit of community that makes this event so special. Whether you joined us from Bainbridge, took a ferry across the water, or flew in from out of state, your presence meant the world to us.
We are thrilled to share that, together, we raised approximately $67,000—our highest fundraising total to date—in support of the Troy & Baden Biddle Foundation! Remarkably, this incredible milestone was reached even with fewer attendees than in years past, a true testament to the heart and generosity of this community. These funds will go directly toward youth sports grants, scholarships, and programming that honors Troy and Baden’s legacies by creating opportunities for young people to thrive. To our incredible volunteers, sponsors, donors, golfers, dinner guests, and auction participants: we are deeply grateful. You are the heart of this work.
