PADUCAH, Ky. — The 16th Annual A&K Construction Golf Tournament benefiting Sunrise Children’s Services was a tremendous success, bringing together golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners to support children and families across Kentucky.

Hosted on May 18th in Paducah, the annual tournament has become an important tradition of generosity in western Kentucky. Each year, A&K Construction and its partners use the event to raise awareness and support for the mission of Sunrise Children’s Services, which provides care to children and families through residential programs, foster care, family services, and independent living support.

Sunrise Children’s Services is grateful for the continued partnership of A&K Construction and the many individuals and businesses who helped make this year’s tournament possible.

“We are incredibly thankful for A&K Construction and the generous community that rallies around this tournament year after year,” said Jake Pelfrey, Vice President for Marketing and Advancement at Sunrise Children’s Services. “Events like this do more than raise funds. They remind children in crisis that they are not forgotten, and they help Sunrise continue providing hope, healing, and Christ-centered care to some of Kentucky’s most vulnerable young people.”

The tournament was recently featured by both WPSD Local 6 and The Paducah Sun, helping shine a light on the generosity of the Paducah community and the impact local partners can have in the lives of children who need safety, stability, and support.

For Sunrise, partnerships like this are essential. The needs facing Kentucky children and families remain great, but faithful supporters help make it possible for Sunrise staff to continue walking alongside children through difficult seasons of life.

“We never take this kind of support for granted,” Pelfrey said. “Every sponsor, golfer, volunteer, and donor who participates in this tournament is helping make ministry possible. Because of their generosity, Sunrise is able to continue serving children and families with excellence.

Sunrise extends its heartfelt thanks to A&K Construction for its leadership, generosity, and long-standing commitment to children in crisis. Sunrise is also grateful to each sponsor, volunteer, and participant who helped make the 16th annual tournament a success.

For more than 150 years, Sunrise Children’s Services has served children and families across Kentucky through Christ-centered care. Through residential programs, foster care, family services, and independent living support, Sunrise continues its mission of providing hope and healing to hurting children and families.
