The focus of the tournament is not on a great game of golf, but on the impact the Foundation's support can have by truly making a difference in the lives of children in our area. Each time MAX4Kids supports one of our local children's charities, we have the opportunity to create smiles and memories that can change a child's life.” The MAX4Kids Foundation assists children of Autauga, Elmore and Montgomery counties through scholarship programs and donations to various charitable organizations. The Foundation has donated over $125,000 to children's charities, and has distributed $50,000 in college scholarships for deserving high-school seniors.
