Ursuline Class of 1970 to honor Donna "G" Giambattista and Ken McMahon

The 10th Annual Yellow Brick Place Golf Outing will be held on Friday, July 10, 2026, at the Avalon Golf & Country Club at Squaw Creek. Yellow Brick Place (YBP) is the only cancer support and wellness center in the Mahoning Valley. Yellow Brick Place serves as the "missing link" between a cancer diagnosis and recovery. YBP offers non-medical programs that comfort the mind, body, and spirit of those facing cancer, their families and caregivers. All programs and services, including beautiful brand-new wigs, are FREE of charge. 

This year's outing is in loving memory of Donna "G" Giambattista Detwiler, co-founder of Yellow Brick Place, and in honor of her lifelong friend and classmate, Ken McMahon. Ten years ago, Donna asked Ken to help bring this event to life. Since then, Ken, his Ursuline High School classmates, and countless supporters have carried Donna's vision forward, growing this outing into a powerful tradition that drives the mission of Yellow Brick Place.

Today, we honor both Donna's legacy and Ken's unwavering commitment to YBP, which has helped thousands of men and women in the Valley who are facing cancer. Donna's vision was born from compassion and a deep understanding that healing requires more than medical treatment; it requires support, community, and hope. Although Donna passed away just before the very first outing, her spirit has guided us every step of the way over the past 10 years.

Your participation in this special 10th Anniversary outing helps fund vital cancer support programs and services at Yellow Brick Place. All proceeds remain local, directly impacting individuals and families in the Mahoning Valley.

This event is one of YBP's major fundraisers, and many of our classmates have donated, volunteered, or participated in previous golf outings. Please consider supporting this milestone event and, in turn, honor our classmates Donna Giambattista and Ken McMahon by contributing any amount to the Ursuline Class of 1970 Event Sponsorship at https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/yellow-brick-place/ursuline-class-of-70-1.
