 MAKE A DIFFERENCE INVITATIONAL

Michael Floyd’s Make a Difference Invitational is about using the game we love to create real, lasting change in the lives of youth and children who need it most. It’s rooted in the belief that every child deserves a shot—not just at sports, but at life. A shot at feeling seen, supported, and equipped to chase their dreams. And that’s exactly what this invitational is designed to do.

 

Michael Floyd, a former NFL star, and proud advocate for youth development , knowing firsthand how important support at the right time can change a kid’s entire life story. He created this Invitational to rally friends, athletes, leaders, and neighbors with a powerful idea in mind: to give today’s youth and kids the kind of  chance he got: one filled with possibility, hope, and guidance. It’s not just Michael giving back—it’s him reaching forward, pulling the next generation up with him. And he is inviting you to do the same

 

So, whether you’re playing in the tournament, supporting as a sponsor, or cheering from the sidelines, know this—your presence matters. You’re part of something far greater than a tournament at a golf course. You’re helping open doors, spark belief, and create opportunities that can last a lifetime.
