StoneWater Golf Club Presents Check for $10k to Cleveland Golden Glove
When taking a swing can have two completely different meanings!
StoneWater Golf Club presented Cleveland Golden Gloves with a check for $10,000 – a donation to help support the mission to “provide an activity and a safe environment that promotes and enhances the physical and emotional well-being and social development of young athletes and citizens of the community."
StoneWater first aligned with Cleveland Golden Gloves during their Men’s Invitational held in July 2023 – when boxers were able to compete at the golf club, complete with a ring and all of the nuances of boxing. The unlikely dichotomy of the two sports was a welcoming alignment for golfers and boxers, and that day was the precipice to this generous donation, and the start of a partnership that will bring more boxing to the club.
“Not only did our golfers have an enjoyable time, but, along with StoneWater, we’re really passionate about supporting the mission of Cleveland Golden Gloves,” said Lindsey Neidus, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer. “We will continue our support and look forward to bringing this experience back to StoneWater in the near future and opening these events to a broader audience to experience this exciting sport and most importantly provide additional support for this most worthy cause.”
Golden Gloves of America is a national organization, with a Cleveland Chapter that is a 501(c). Many retired police officers and firefighters volunteer their time to help young men and women challenge themselves, achieve personal goals, to be part of a team and achieve success in their community – along with building character, self-respect and leadership skills. “Our coaching mission in training boxers is, to build our youths confidence up through hard work and dedication that will help carry them through life’s ups and downs, we teach; you don’t lose in the ring but instead you learn,” Said Rick Lozada, President of Cleveland Golden Gloves.
“We could not be happier to support a better organization,” said Neidus. “Even though a ‘swing’ in golf is much different than in boxing, the synergy between the two sports has taken on a whole new meaning, and we look forward to more opportunities to align.”
