Carpenters Caring Hosts 2026 Golf Outing

/in /by

In May 2026, members, contractors, partners, and friends of the Central Midwest Carpenters gathered for the annual Carpenters Caring Golf Outing. While the day provided an opportunity to connect with fellow members, United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC) leadership, and industry partners on the course, the event was about much more than golf. Its mission was to raise funds that help support union families when they need it most.

Held at Warren Golf Course in Notre Dame, Indiana, this year’s outing saw an incredible show of support. Every sponsorship opportunity sold out, and dozens of additional sponsors stepped up to contribute to the cause. Thanks to their generosity, the event raised critical funds for the Carpenters Caring Fund, which provides year-round assistance to members and their families facing hardship, loss, or unexpected tragedy.
