What is the CYPGolf Tournament?

Charlotte Young Professionals Group’s 4th annual CYPGolf Tournament and Cheers for Charity fundraising events will once again serve the organization’s diverse group of 280+ members and their guests in supporting and fundraising for two local nonprofit organizations that have made a significant impact in the Charlotte community. Within the past three years, CYPGolf Tournament and Cheers for Charity, the post-tournament celebratory event, have donated over $48,000 directly to Carolina Youth Coalition and Freedom Communities.

Meet the Benefiting Charities

Carolina Youth Coalition

Carolina Youth Coalition is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that nurtures and propels high-achieving, under- resourced students to and through college.
The organization serves Fellows through its Torch Fellows program aiming to prepare students for collegiate academics and admissions preparation. Upon a college decision aligning, Fellows go through the College Fellows program aiming to set them up for a successful transition into the collegiate environment.
Since 2018, Fellows have earned over $59 million in scholarship offers and 74% are attending four-year universities completely debt free.

Freedom Communities

Freedom Communities is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that wants to not only address basic needs but also disrupt the cycle of intergenerational poverty, serve neighbors in a holistic way, and support the process of human transformation to enable them to thrive. The impetus behind Freedom Communities was a 2014 joint Harvard & UC Berkeley study that ranked Charlotte last place out of 50 cities for social mobility. Moreover, this lack of social mobility disproportionately affects minorities.
Since its founding in 2018, Freedom Communities has served over 2,000 families in the Charlotte community through affordable housing, early education, family stability programming and collaborative partnership opportunities.
