Corporate Donations in Action
On June 23rd, The Kincaid Group hosted its annual golf tournament in Kansas City, a vibrant event that brought together purpose-driven companies and passionate individuals for a day of connection, competition, and generosity. This year’s tournament, in partnership with Cornerstone Companies was held at the beautiful Canyon Farms golf course and was a resounding success.
The result? A staggering $300,000 raised for four Kansas City-area nonprofits—including Giving the Basics.
More Than a Golf Tournament
Set against the beautiful backdrop of Canyon Farms in Lenexa, KS, the KC Impact Classic wasn’t just about hitting the greens—it was about hitting a new level of community support. With corporate sponsors, player teams, and volunteers all coming together, the day was a shining example of what happens when companies align their values with action.
Throughout the tournament, participants learned about the missions of each benefiting nonprofit and how their involvement would directly support programs across the region. From empowering disabled children, adults and veterans to providing basic hygiene essentials like soap, toothpaste, and deodorant, the impact of this event will be felt by thousands of individuals and families in need.
How Corporate Donations Fuel Change
Corporate donations like those generated through the KC Impact Classic are a vital part of our work at Giving the Basics. Whether it’s financial gifts, in-kind hygiene products, or collaborative events like this tournament, corporate partners help us:
- Expand into new school districts and shelters
- Respond to urgent requests from partner agencies
- Purchase hygiene products in bulk at reduced prices
- Operate with the consistency and sustainability that monthly needs require
These donations don’t just fill shelves—they restore dignity and give students, seniors, and families the confidence to participate fully in life.
Why Third-Party Fundraisers Matter
The KC Impact Classic is a perfect example of how third-party fundraisers can amplify a nonprofit’s mission.
When businesses or individuals take the lead on planning and executing fundraising events, it expands both our capacity and our reach. These events create new networks of support, generate awareness, and provide donors with engaging, meaningful ways to get involved.
They also free up our team to focus on what we do best: getting hygiene products into the hands of those who need them most.
If your business, church, or community group is looking for a meaningful cause to rally around, hosting a third-party fundraiser is a powerful way to get involved. From golf tournaments and benefit concerts to birthday fundraisers and company-wide donation drives, your creativity fuels our impact.
Celebrating the Kincaid Group
The team at The Kincaid Group has once again shown what true corporate citizenship looks like. Their commitment to lifting up local nonprofits is inspiring—and we’re deeply grateful to have been selected as one of this year’s beneficiaries.
From the engaging day on the course to the incredible generosity of all who participated, the KC Impact Classic proves that when businesses lead with heart, communities thrive.
