The Williams Challenge is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing educational assistance to aspiring students. The scholarship fund is given in the name of the late Kay D. Williams, loving wife, mother, and friend. Kay exemplified academic excellence, good will, and kindness to all who encounted her. This fund honors her and her legacy by providing for those in need.

The scholarship recipients demonstrate both academic excellence and moral character along with the desire, drive, and ability to pursue higher education. Don’t let someone’s need prematurely determine their fate. Your donation will help these students reach goals that were once only a dream.

Our annual golf fundraiser is a way for the greater Akron community to participate alongside us and have fun playing golf at the same time. Williams Challenge sincerely thanks all of our supporters who have helped us realize our mission to area youth. Your support has helped provide scholarships through the Akron Urban League. Our mission is to help offset college expenses and make a positive difference in the lives of youth through financial assistance, promoting excellence in education, sports, community services, and spirituality. Williams Challenge scholarships are funded primarily through this golf fundraiser held each year in June. We invite you to participate in this annual event which is fun for every skill level of golf. Other funding sources include private and corporate donations, and hole sponsorship.

If you are unable to attend, feel free to make a donation in the amounts of $25, $50, $75 or $100. You also can donate any amount that you'd like.
