Friday, October 10, 2025 | Lakota Links, New Castle
Roaring Fork Leadership is thrilled to launch our first-ever golf tournament – and you’re invited to join us for a day of great golf, breathtaking views, and lasting community impact.
On Friday, October 10, we’ll gather at Lakota Links, a stunning desert-style course known for its panoramic mountain vistas, vibrant fall colors, and the perfect mix of challenge and playability. But this isn’t just about golf – it’s about coming together to strengthen leadership in our region and ensure more people have access to the tools, connections, and confidence to lead.
Why We’re Golfing
This tournament is more than a fun day outdoors – it’s a fundraiser with purpose. Proceeds will directly support RFL’s leadership programs and expand scholarship opportunities for future Academy and Mastermind participants. As economic pressures continue to affect our region, we’re committed to ensuring that transformative leadership development remains accessible to individuals from all sectors, backgrounds, and income levels.
When you register or become a sponsor, you help us:
- Expand scholarship funding for 2026 and beyond
- Increase access for emerging leaders across industries
- Strengthen our communities through courageous, inclusive, and future-ready leadership
