DEVIN MARTLING CLASSIC GOLF TOURNAMENT FUNDRAISER RETURNS ON SEPTEMBER 5th
Dear Friends and Supporters,
On behalf of the Denver Barbarians Rugby Foundation, we would like to thank you for your generous support of the inaugural 2025 Devin Martling Classic. Your contributions helped make the event a tremendous success and allowed us to honor the life and legacy of our friend and teammate, Devin Martling.
We are excited to announce that the 2nd Annual Devin Martling Classic will be held on September 5, 2026, at Raccoon Creek Golf Course in Littleton, Colorado. Thanks to the incredible support we received last year, the tournament is expanding to 100 players, allowing us to welcome even more members of the rugby community, friends, family, and supporters to celebrate Devin's lasting impact on the Denver Barbarians.
In addition to a great day on the golf course, this year's event will feature a post-tournament banquet at the clubhouse including a lunch buffet, complimentary beer, tournament honors, a silent auction featuring exciting prizes and experiences, and tournament merchandise available for purchase.
As we prepare for this year's tournament, we are seeking the continued support of our sponsors, donors, and community partners. Funds raised through the Devin Martling Classic directly support the mission of the Denver Barbarians Rugby Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. These funds help provide resources for club operations, support player development opportunities, reduce barriers to participation in the sport, and strengthen rugby communities throughout Colorado. These donations are tax deductible according to applicable tax laws.
