Milan, IL — May 16th, 2026 — The Quad City Animal Welfare Center (QCAWC) is proud to 
announce the return of its highly anticipated annual Par Fore Pets Golf Outing, a community driven fundraiser supporting animals in need. This year’s event is proudly sponsored by WQAD TV8 and promises a day filled with fun, camaraderie, and purpose.

Registration for teams opens Friday, April 3, 2026 at 10:00 AM, and participants are encouraged 
to secure their spots early, as the event consistently sells out.

Golf enthusiasts and casual players alike are invited to hit the greens for what has become one of 
QCAWC’s most beloved events.

Teams can register online at:

The cost is $300 per team, which includes:
• One round of golf with a cart
• Lunch
• One non-alcoholic drink coupon per participant
• A swag bag
• Entry into three on-course contests:
   o Longest Drive
   o Longest Putt
   o Closest to the Hole

“Par Fore Pets is more than just a golf outing—it’s a celebration of community and compassion,” 
said Jasmine Kline, Development Coordinator at QCAWC. “Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or 
simply looking for a fun day with friends, this event brings people together to make a real 
difference for animals in our care.”

Proceeds from the outing directly support QCAWC’s mission to provide shelter, medical care, 
and adoption services for thousands of animals each year. Funds raised help ensure every animal 
receives the care and opportunity they deserve to find a loving home.

Now Seeking Event Sponsors
QCAWC is currently seeking event sponsors to help make this year’s outing a continued success. 
Sponsorship opportunities provide valuable exposure while demonstrating a commitment to 
animal welfare and community engagement.

Benefits of sponsorship may include:
• Brand visibility across event promotions and digital platforms
• Recognition during the event
• Opportunities for on-site engagement with participants
• Alignment with a trusted and impactful nonprofit organization

“Support from our sponsors allows us to expand our reach and enhance the experience for 
participants,” added Jasmine Kline. “We welcome businesses and individuals to join us in 
making this event unforgettable.”

With limited team availability and high demand, participants are encouraged to mark their 
calendars, gather their teams, and register early to ensure they don’t miss out on this tail-wagging 
good time.
