Save the date: June 28, 2021 Swift Printing is the title sponsor for the Driving to Achieve:Walt Gutowski Sr. Golf Outing supporting the YMCA

Please join us on June 28, 2021 in supporting the YMCA for the Walt Gutowski Sr. Golf Outing!

We love being the title sponsor for this event because of what the Y.M.C.A. does for our community. You can’t go to a place in Grand Rapids, Michigan that is more diverse than the Y.M.C.A. Their mission and service aligns with our mission to be a deeply rooted print shop in Grand Rapids, MI.

When I was a little girl I spent lots of time at the Y. Friday night’s we’d go as a family for open swim. My mom taught aerobics class and we’d go to childcare where I met a life long friend of mine. I still think my love for the “chlorinated pool smell” was established at the old Leonard Y.M.C.A.

The love runs deep. My father, Walt Gutowski Jr., and all his siblings love the Y.M.C.A. as well. Walt Jr. learned to swim before he could walk. I’ve heard stories of him as a baby crawling out on the diving board and jumping in the pool.

This year is super special because it’s the first year the scramble is located at Blythefield Country Club. They are home to the LPGA/Meijer’s Simply Give event and the course has just undergone a three million dollar renovation! The “Walt Gutowski Sr. Driving to Achieve” event will be the first public event after the LPGA is in town. Pretty cool, right? 

Why am I so into Blythefield Country Club’s Golf Course? Well, I have a man on the inside to make sure those greens are rolling just right for you! It happens to be my husband, Jake Slaydon, the Assistant Superintendent.

In all seriousness, would you please consider joining us in supporting this awesome organization. Here is more info: https://www.grymca.org/events/driving-achieve

Thank you for your consideration.
