The Max Plumb Memorial Golf Tournament, now in its 5th year, is more than a day on the course. Hosted by the Applewood Community Foundation, this heartfelt event brings neighbors together to uplift youth, support schools, and invest in stronger, healthier communities.

Thanks to generous donors and sponsors, the Foundation has contributed over $60,000 to Jefferson Center for Mental Health, establishing the Max Plumb Scholarship Fund. These funds directly support clients in the Residential Recovery Program—offering real help and real hope.

In collaboration with the Rolling Hills Foundation, ACF also helped raise an additional $85,000 on Colorado Gives Day for Jefferson Center, surpassing fundraising goals by using ACF’s contribution as a matching gift.

Every swing, every sponsor, every supporter makes a difference—right here in our own backyard.
