WILLIAMSTON, MI (6-1-26) — Latino Leaders for Equity Advocacy and Development (LLEAD) is inviting community members, businesses, and organizations from across Michigan to tee off for a cause at its 6th Annual Golf Outing on Friday, August 7, 2026, at Wheatfield Valley Golf Club in Williamston. The event serves as one of the organization’s key fundraising efforts to support advocacy, leadership development, and community engagement initiatives benefiting Latino communities throughout the state.

LLEAD, a statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, continues its mission of bringing together Latino and non-Latino leaders to address disparities in civil and human rights, education, health care, housing, employment, and economic opportunity. The organization currently maintains chapters in Lansing, Saginaw, Holland, Grand Rapids, Southeast Michigan, Adrian, Flint, and Bay City.  

The golf outing will feature an 8 a.m. registration, followed by a 9 a.m. shotgun start at Wheatfield Valley Golf Club, located at 1600 Linn Road in Williamston. Registration costs are $100 per golfer or $380 per four-person team and include 18 holes of golf with cart, a continental breakfast, lunch at the turn, and dinner. Participants will also have opportunities to compete for longest putt, longest drive, and best team score honors.  

Organizers are seeking sponsors at multiple levels, ranging from hole sponsorships to platinum-level event sponsorships. Platinum sponsors receive eight player registrations, prominent signage throughout the course, and an opportunity to address attendees during the dinner program. Additional sponsorship opportunities include breakfast, lunch, dinner, beverage, water, golf towel, and cash prize sponsorships.  

“LLEAD has continued to grow and strengthen its impact through the support of community leaders, businesses, and dedicated volunteers,” said LLEAD President Al Flores in a letter to prospective sponsors. “We hope organizations across Michigan will join us for a fun day of golf and camaraderie while helping us continue our work on behalf of Latino communities throughout the state.”  

Proceeds from the outing help fund LLEAD’s leadership development efforts, community programs, advocacy initiatives, and statewide outreach activities designed to create positive change and greater opportunities for Latino residents across Michigan.
