Golfers' Challenge

Please Note:  MCA hosts one of its premier fundraising events each spring - Golfers' Challenge (odd year) and Warrior Clay Classic (even year).

The best way to secure your team in the 2023 Golfers' Challenge is to join our Community Partners Program at the levels of Legacy, Heritage or Leadership.

The tradition continues as Metrolina Christian Academy hosts its 2023 Golfers' Challenge in April with a shotgun start, captain’s choice format and only one flight.  Come enjoy a great day filled with golf, fellowship and fundraising for the students of Metrolina Christian Academy. More details coming soon!

 MCA Golfers’ Challenge 2021 – $62,380 Raised 
What a special day for Metrolina Christian Academy as we hosted our 21^st Annual Golfers’ Challenge, presented by Caryl Mechanicals Heating & Cooling, on Monday, April 19^th at Firethorne Country Club.  We were blessed in abundance with a beautiful sunny day, strong sponsor support, and great golfer participation (136 golfers).  

The day was made even more special with a hole-in-one made by Jasen Nolff on Hole #3 (sponsored by The Ross Group). Jasen won the $10,000 cash prize for acing Hole #3, plus a one-year supply of Bridgestone golf balls (courtesy of Griffin Motors of Monroe). Watch a quick video clip of Jasen’s celebration after making the hole-in-one!

Although we had to cancel last year’s tournament due to COVID-19, our sponsors and golfers returned in full force with their support for the 2021 Golfers’ Challenge and helped raise $62,380 for the students of Metrolina Christian Academy.  And because of their generosity, Metrolina can continue to educate our students for the cause of Christ and invest in enhanced technology, offer more opportunities in fine arts and athletics, add more playground equipment, and improve campus security, including more security cameras

We are so very thankful to all our sponsors, golfers and supporters of MCA and praise God for His abundant provision!  For a complete list of sponsors for the 2021 Golfers’ Challenge, please click the "Sponsors" tab above.
