Ann Arbor, MI (August 25, 2025) – On August 11, 2025, more than 120articipants came together at the University of Michigan Golf Course for the 2nd Annual Applied Innovation Golf Classic, raising approximately $80,000 to benefit A Kid Again Michigan, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing hope, happiness, and healing to families raising children with life-threatening conditions.
Hosted by Applied Innovation, the event brought together business leaders, community members, and generous sponsors for a day of friendly competition, connection, and shared purpose, all aimed at creating joyful experiences for children navigating difficult medical journeys.
“We’re proud to see how this event has grown in just its second year—not only in attendance, but in the impact it’s making for A Kid Again families across Michigan,” said Casey Lowery, President of Applied Innovation. “The Golf Classic reflects what matters to us at Applied: building meaningful partnerships, supporting our communities, and creating moments that last far beyond a single day on the course.”
Throughout the day, golfers enjoyed a breakfast reception, lunch and beverages on the course, a lively 19th Hole Party, and a silent auction filled with one-of-a-kind items. Prizes were awarded for the winning foursome, men’s and women’s longest drive, and men’s and women’s closest-to-the-pin.
“We are incredibly grateful for Applied Innovation’s continued support through the Golf Classic,” said Amy Vining, Executive Director of A Kid Again Michigan. “This event goes beyond golf. It brings together a community that believes in the power of hope, happiness, and healing. The impact we’re able to make together for our families across Michigan is something we’re proud to celebrate.”
Proceeds from the event will directly support A Kid Again Adventures—cost-free, year-round events that give families the opportunity to bond, laugh, and create cherished memories away from the stress of the hospital and treatment rooms.
Applied Innovation extends heartfelt thanks to all sponsors, donors, volunteers, and attendees who helped make this year’s event a success.
