4/24/2026	United Way of Pinal County 2026 Golf Tournament Join us for a fun Friday of golf to benefit literacy for our children in Pinal County. All proceeds will benefit our reading by 3rd Grade Initiative, in partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, to provide books to children under the age of 5 to develop critical literacy skills and prepare them for kindergarten. Most recent AZ test scores reflect only 27% of Pinal County 3rd graders are reading, and 90% of a child's brain develops by age 5, so reading to young children is key to preparing them for school and reading. All golfers will enjoy a light breakfast, practice balls, golf, cart, lunch, a welcome bag and more. We have exciting updates and new contests this year including a chance to win $10,000 cash for a hole in one! Visit UWPCgolf.com to learn more, sponsor and register. more info...
