The Whitford Charitable Classic, a fund of the Chester County Community Foundation, recently announced the distribution of $100,000 in grants to 10 local nonprofits. Each organization received a $10,000 grant to further their impactful work within the Chester County community.

The 2025 Whitford Charitable Classic, held from September 19 to 21, was an exciting weekend that brought together members, supporters, and grantees of Whitford Country Club. The event featured a variety of activities, including golf, tennis, and pickleball tournaments, as well as the much-anticipated Whitford Gala and Auction. The weekend not only highlighted the fun and camaraderie of the club but also reflected Whitford’s long-standing commitment to giving back and supporting its local community.

Taylor Young, co-chair of the Whitford Charitable Classic, expressed his gratitude and excitement about the event’s success. 

“I’m incredibly proud of our outstanding membership and the dedicated committees who made this year’s event possible,” Young said. “My heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, donated, and helped bring it all together. I’m especially grateful to my co-chair, Bill Penney, for his support and leadership.”
