THE 6TH ANNUAL EXCEL GOLF CLASSIC
Grasslands Golf & Country Club
March 9, 2026
Helping Children - One Swing At a Time
Excel Christian Academy completely changed my life after I lost my brother in 2019. During one of the hardest seasons I’ve ever faced, I felt lost and alone, with no one to turn to outside of my family. Everything changed when I was accepted into Excel.
From the very beginning, Excel welcomed me with open arms and showed me love, compassion, and genuine care. They surrounded me with a strong Christian culture that gave me hope, strength, and purpose when I needed it most. The staff didn’t just support me academically—they supported me emotionally and spiritually, helping me believe in myself again.
Because of the constant love, encouragement, and guidance from the Excel staff, I am now in college with a 3.7 GPA and blessed with the opportunity to play basketball at a four-year university. I am forever grateful for Excel Christian Academy for standing by me during my darkest moments and helping shape the person I am today.
