Inaugural Dwight Stephenson Arc Broward Golf Classic Raises More Than $80,000

The day began with a breakfast buffet before 148 golfers gathered for the tournament's shotgun start. Following the tournament, participants and guests came together for an awards luncheon and lively silent auction, where guests celebrated the day's accomplishments while raising critical funds. Together, the tournament and silent auction raised more than $80,000 to support Arc Broward's mission to strengthen the community by empowering people with disabilities to grow, develop and thrive.

Stephenson was joined by a lineup of former NFL players who supported the event, including Roberto Aguayo, Robert Bailey, Marty Booker, Ki-Jana Carter, Travis Daniels, Troy Drayton, Brandon Flowers, Damian Gregory, Terry Kirby, Jordan Poyer, Mason Schreck, Lamar Thomas and Shawn Wooden.

"We are proud to partner with Dwight Stephenson and so many dedicated community leaders who believe in Arc Broward's mission," said Julie Price, Arc Broward President and CEO. "The overwhelming support for our inaugural golf classic reflects the trust this community has placed in that mission and translates directly into support for the people and families we serve.”

Following the tremendous success of its inaugural tournament, the Dwight Stephenson Arc Broward Golf Classic will return to Boca Lago Golf & Country Club on Friday, June 18th, 2027.
