GOLF WITH GLO: A NIGHT FOR GRIFFIN

Come out. Golf. Give back. All for Griffin.

Thursday, July 9 · Top Golf Midtown, Atlanta · 6:30–8:30 PM

A night of golf, good food, and giving back. Hosted by Hometown Hope, the foundation founded by Griffin's own Dee Alford (NFL cornerback, Buffalo Bills), alongside the team at Village Kids, the grassroots organization rooted in Griffin, Georgia.

This is more than an event. It's a moment. A room full of people who care, gathered for a city that deserves more.

Come golf with us. Come hear what's coming for Griffin. Come be part of it.

 

Three friends. One city. A whole lot of love.

Dee Alford is from Griffin. So are Elway and Andrew. They grew up on the same streets, ran the same playgrounds, and were raised by the same community that made them who they are.

Now they're back together to give Griffin's next generation what they had: a community that shows up.

Hometown Hope is Dee's foundation. It's brand new, and it's built to invest in the kids and families of Griffin through programming, resources, and the long-term work that real change requires.

Village Kids, co-founded by Elway and Andrew, has been doing the work in Griffin for years. On the ground. In the neighborhoods. With the families. They know the kids by name. They show up before the cameras do, and they stay long after.

Together, they're an example of what happens when people pour back into the places that poured into them.

 

Why we're doing this

There's a quiet truth about communities like Griffin: the kids are full of talent, the families are full of love, and the people are full of hope. What's missing is investment.

We believe Griffin deserves community spaces that match the spirit of the people who live there. Spaces where kids can play freely, families can gather safely, and the next generation can grow into who they were always meant to be.

Golf with Glo: A Night for Griffin is the first of many moments we're creating to raise the resources Griffin deserves. Every dollar we raise goes directly back into the community, through programming, partnerships, and the long-term revitalization of community spaces in Griffin.

This is a city that's been giving for generations. Now it's our turn to give back.
