The Billy Martin Classic
A Tradition of Giving Since 2001
For over two decades, the Billy Martin Classic has been more than just a golf outing—it’s a day of remembrance, camaraderie, and giving back. Since 2001, friends, family, and supporters have gathered annually to celebrate Billy’s life, enjoy a round of golf, and raise funds for a meaningful cause. Thanks to our incredible community, this event has grown into a lasting tradition that honors Billy’s spirit and continues to make a difference.

How You Can Help
-
Participate.
Each year, we gather together for the Billy Martin Classic to celebrate a life, to laugh and of course play a little golf ~ just as Billy did. You can help us make the outing a special event - it makes no difference if you break a 100 or if you have never picked up a club. Your continued support helps us keep Billy's spirit alive.
-
Sponsor.
Dedicated sponsors are what make any organization successful. The William J. Martin Foundation is eternally grateful for the multitude of sponsors in the past 20 years. We are proud to say that 100% of the proceeds raised are given to worthy charities. Please help us continue to make something positive happen out of such a senseless tragedy.
-
Volunteer.
Without volunteers no fundraising event could ever happen. Over the last 20 years countless volunteers have helped create a memorable day in honor of Billy, and each has left the day feeling that they have done something wonderful with their time. Please consider joining us this year as a volunteer. We guarantee you will have a fun time!
