Joe Coors Hope House Classic
For the 18th year in a row, the Joe Coors Hope House Classic was held at the Sanctuary Golf Course in Sedalia, Colorado. The tournament host and organizer, John Scott, along with his wife Laurie, have partnered with the Hope House Colorado, a foundation that provides self-sufficiency programs to parenting teen moms.
The event was founded in 2006 with all of the proceeds from the tournament going directly to the Hope House foundation. While the tournament has been held at many different golf courses over the years, including the Lakewood Country Club, Ravenna Golf Club, and the Colorado Golf Club, it eventually settled at Sanctuary Golf Course in 2016. It was also that year where the tournament was renamed in honor of the late Joe Coors Jr, Scott’s personal mentor and long-time champion of the Hope House. Since then, the tournament has remained at this golf course and has been played out in Coors’s memory.
This year’s tournament took place June 22 at Sanctuary with 120 golfers competing.
Last year, the 7th year at Sedalia, the event raised more than $240,000 in support of Hope House Colorado. Hope House Colorado is on track to serve 250 teen moms this year and the tournament will help them accomplish this goal.
