Kahgahgee Campaign

for Preservation, Programs & Perpetuity

The Club has been important and a big part of many lives for many years and we want to see it provide the same fun, social and recreational opportunities we have experienced for future generations.

Our newly formed 501(c)(3) charitable Foundation (1892 Kahgahgee Legacy Campaign) was formed to make it easier than ever to help support this mission. Your generosity will make a long-lasting difference as we provide for a stronger and better club for all members and the Fairfield Community.

The 3 Pillars of the Kahgahgee Campaign:

Preservation & Restoration

We aim to revive parts of the course to it’s original granduer. For example, Crow Creek was a signature component of the original course. It’s restoration has already begun.

Programs

Teaching youth and families to play golf, including those that may not have had this opportunity in the past, while partnering with national programs that are sponsored by the PGA and others.

Perpetuity

We want to make sure the foundation is around for the next 100 years. A portion of all money raised will go into an endowment to continue to benefit the course for future generations.
