2023 National Summer Sports Tournament (Golf)


2023 FOCA National Sports Tournament

Michael E Snyder Memorial Golf 

Akron O Club 20/32 is hosting the 2023 National Sports Tournament on August 18 and 19 in the Greater Akron Ohio community.  This year, we honor the memory of staunch supporter of everything FOCA, Michael E Snyder.  Mike made every activity of the FOCA a priority every month of every year.  We honor him this year with an effort to continue his good works for the benefit of some of those for whom he worked so diligently, the college students.

At the 2022 FOCA Convention, it was decided to end the practice of dues paying members for our youth.  All youth of OCA parishes and those non-OCA parishes with active FOCA chapters are automatically included in all programs of the FOCA.  The scholarship program is one very important part of that plan.  With our desire to build that scholarship program to embrace even more young Orthodox Christians into the fold, the Akron O Club is promoting this summer’s tournament to benefit the FOCA Scholarship Fund.

How can you help?

Please come to Akron in August!  The golfing will be held at Chippewa Golf Course in Doylestown, Ohio on Friday, August 18 and Raintree Golf & Event Center on Saturday, August 19.  An optional Scramble golf is proposed for Saturday depending on the number of registrants.  Cost for golf is $75.00 per day.

Additionally, you may be a hole sponsor for one or both days of the weekend.  Placards will be displayed at each sponsored hole.  The cost is $75.00 for one day or $100.00 for both days.  

Finally, we are asking for all members to seek out corporate sponsorship for the tournament at a cost of $500.00.  This is not atypical for an event of this type.  As stated previously, we hope to make this year an opportunity to really build on the memory of one who gave so much of himself for the betterment of all. Mike would be thrilled to know that his memory did so much positive work for the young people of our Faith.
