BERRIEN SPRINGS, MICHIGAN – JULY 28, 2026 – The 10th Annual Watermark Golf Classic presented by Honor Credit Union will take place on Friday, August 21, 2026, with check‑in beginning at 8:30 a.m. at Indian Lake Hills Golf Course in Eau Claire, MI. The annual outing raises funds for the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) of Southwest Michigan, a local organization dedicated to supporting children and families impacted by abuse.
What began as a small community golf outing has grown into a beloved annual tradition, thanks in large part to Watermark Brewing Co.’s commitment to giving back. Their team has infused the event with the same spirit that defines their brewery, a fun and genuine desire to support the people around them.
“Watermark is excited to host the 10th Annual Watermark Classic golf outing, presented by Honor Credit Union. Since the outing’s inception, we have given back to a local nonprofit and have enjoyed helping and working alongside the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Michigan,” stated Chris Mason, co-founder of Watermark Brewing Co. “In addition to making great beer, our team at Watermark has always tried to position ourselves to do two things well: have fun and support our local community. Our event has a great relationship with Honor Credit Union, where we have been banking for over 10 years. Honor’s approach is similar to Watermark’s: take care of those around you, and good vibes will come back your way.”
As the outing enters its 10th year, Honor Credit Union continues to be a steady partner in Watermark’s mission to support the vital work the CAC provides for children and families across Southwest Michigan.
“We’re committed to supporting organizations that make a difference in the lives of children and families across our communities,” said Scott McFarland, CEO of Honor Credit Union. “The Watermark Golf Classic brings people together for a purpose that truly matters, and we are proud to stand alongside Watermark Brewing Co. and the Children’s Advocacy Center in this important cause.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Watermark Brewing Co., Honor Credit Union and everyone participating in the Watermark Golf Classic benefiting the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Michigan,” noted Jamie Rossow, executive director of the CAC. “Partnerships like this make it possible for us to continue providing support, healing, and advocacy for children and families impacted by abuse. Their investment in our mission demonstrates a true commitment to protecting children and strengthening our community. We are honored to have Honor Credit Union as a valued partner in this important work.”
