G-Strong Classic

Join St. Jude friends and supporters for the 6th annual St. Jude G-Strong Golf Invitational on October 5, 2026, in Springfield, Missouri. The G‑Strong Golf Invitational was created by Michael and Erin Sutton in honor of their son, Graham, as a heartfelt way to support families facing life-threatening pediatric diseases. What began as a tribute has grown into a powerful annual event dedicated to raising awareness and vital funding for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The tournament features two flights — one in the morning and one in the afternoon — providing golfers flexibility while maximizing participation. A complimentary lunch is served between flights, giving players time to connect, recharge and learn more about the impact their support makes. Throughout the day, participants can enjoy a variety of engaging opportunities to give back, including a silent auction, multiple sponsorship options, mulligan purchases and on‑course games and activities that blend fun with fundraising.

Every golfer who tees off at the G‑Strong Golf Invitational plays a part in bringing hope to children and families who need it most. The event celebrates community, compassion and the enduring strength represented by Graham’s name — G‑Strong.

All proceeds from this charity event benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
