The inaugural Lomas Brown Golf Classic was a memorable day of community, camaraderie, and commitment to a better future for youth in Southeast Michigan. Held at the Country Club of Detroit and supported by an incredible turnout, the event marked a new era of impact under the leadership of Lions legend Lomas Brown Jr.
NFL greats including Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson came out in full force to show their support – not just for a day on the green, but for the mission behind it. Formerly hosted under the name of Paul W. Smith, the event now enters a powerful new chapter dedicated to raising funds and awareness for youth-focused programs through the Lomas Brown Jr. Foundation.
“These funds go toward creating more productive members of society through mentorship, education, and opportunity,” said Lomas. “To have so many legends come back and support this cause means the world to me, and even more to the kids we serve.”
With the Foundation’s new direction and renewed energy, the event raised $270,000 to help the kids of Southeast Michigan.
Beyond the numbers, the day was about showing the next generation what leadership, giving back, and community truly look like. With every swing, every handshake, and every conversation, the message was clear: our youth matter, and they deserve every opportunity to succeed.
The Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to the golfers, sponsors, and supporters who made the first Lomas Brown Golf Classic an unforgettable success.
