THE 2026 KEMP KLEIN CHARITY GOLF CLASSIC
ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT
Today, Monday, August 31, 2026, marks the 5th Annual Kemp Klein Charity Golf Classic, a premier Michigan charity golf outing and Metro Detroit golf event. This year’s event will take place at the beautiful Fieldstone Golf Club in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
All proceeds will benefit the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, which since 1929 has been committed to feeding bodies, nourishing spirits, and strengthening Metro Detroit. For almost a century the breadth of the Capuchin’s work — from daily meal services and the Capuchin Services Center to Earthworks Urban Farm, youth programming, and recovery support – has been a blessing to families and communities throughout the region. At a time when many families are struggling to choose between food, fuel and rent, the importance of their work can’t be overstated. This charitable golf tournament helps support those critical programs while bringing together golfers, sponsors, and community leaders from across Michigan.
The mission of the Kemp Klein Foundation is to provide support to charitable organizations and promote volunteerism throughout the firm and community. Since its inception, the Foundation has contributed over $1,000,000 to hundreds of worthwhile causes which reflect our shared values and commitment to strengthening the communities we serve.

THE 2025 KEMP KLEIN FOUNDATION CHARITY GOLF OUTING
The Kemp Klein Foundation’s 4th Annual Charity Golf Outing was a tremendous success, raising $50,000.00 for First Tee – Greater Detroit, almost doubling donations raised in previous years’ outings. First Tee-Greater Detroit uses golf-based personal growth programs to help area youth build golf, growth, and leadership skills that empower them in all areas of life, including school, friendships and, eventually, careers. This year’s event, held at beautiful Links of Novi Singh Golf Course in Novi, Michigan on September 8, 2025, featured a silent auction and a delectable dinner after a sunny day on the course.
The mission of the Kemp Klein Foundation is to provide support to charitable organizations and promote volunteerism throughout the firm and community.
