“We are incredibly excited for our second annual golf outing, an event that directly supports our vision of providing a safe and stable environment for young people in need,” said David Walker, CEO/Executive Director of Visions & Pathways. “The Bridge House project is vital for empowering those youth to build independent and successful futures. Every swing helps us get closer to making this essential housing a reality.”

“The Bridge House Committee is dedicated to creating a supportive home for these young adults,” added Zonie LeSane, Chair of the Bridge House Committee. “This golf outing is not just a day of fun on the green; it’s an opportunity for our community to directly impact the lives of vulnerable youth and give them the foundation they deserve.”
