Our Charities
 The Crooked Creek Golf Community has started a program for the area youth to try to get them more involved with the sport of golf. Last fall, as part of this program, we sponsored a series of junior clinics for area children 12 and under that
was attended by over 100 kids from the area.
Most of them have their own clubs but several of them loved golf but didn’t have clubs, we want to help. This year we have already had one junior clinic in January that was attended by 24 kids and have another scheduled February 23. During the summer, we are going to have weekly junior camps to work on their swings as well as etiquette, rules of golf, course management, and generally work to help them improve and learn to love the game of golf. We have a new Golf Academy that we can use in any weather, a lighted driving range, and a good PGA Professional Staff for teaching. Our goal is to get as many kids as possible to play the game of golf from which they can learn to be a better person as well as a better golfer. These kids are the golfers of tomorrow so let’s help them as much as we can.
 United Way of Laurel County Brings together people from all across the community-people from government, business, faith groups, nonprofits and ordinary citizens. If it requires fund raising or just getting people to work together, that's what we do.
All but 1% of money raised stays local. This 1% goes to United Way of America in order that we may be in the United Way network. This partnership with UWA results in approximately
$150,000 coming back into Laurel County through the payroll deduction done in our local corporations such as HSBC, Walmart DC, UPS, Lowes, KU, Fed EX, Sara Lee and more.
