Thank you for joining St. Jude friends and supporters for the 6th annual St. Jude G-Strong Golf Invitational on October 5, 2026, in Springfield, Missouri. The G‑Strong Golf Invitational was created by Michael and Erin Sutton in honor of their son, Graham, as a heartfelt way to support families facing life-threatening pediatric diseases. What began as a tribute has grown into a powerful annual event dedicated to raising awareness and vital funding for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Every golfer who tees off at the G‑Strong Golf Invitational plays a part in bringing hope to children and families who need it most. The event celebrates community, compassion and the enduring strength represented by Graham’s name — G‑Strong.

All proceeds from this charity event benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.

For information on sponsorship and volunteer opportunities at next year's event, please contact Scott Ellis at scott.ellis@alsac.stjude.org.
