OUR
IMPACT
Children’s Hospital Partnership
At the heart of the NEPA Invitational is our partnership with Janet Weis Children's Hospital, a leader in pediatric care and a proud member of the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The hospital’s affiliation with the Play Yellow Initiative, founded by Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, exemplifies our shared commitment to improving children’s health.

Pediatric care at Janet Weis Children's Hospital
-
Local children’s welfare organizations
-
College scholarships for youth in Northeast Pennsylvania
Our Contributions
Through your generous support, we've donated over $600,000 to date. These funds have been instrumental in supporting the Janet Weis Children's Hospital, local organizations dedicated to children’s welfare, and college scholarships for students in need.
Dedicated Spaces
In recognition of the support the NEPA Invitational and Brandon and Danielle Matthews provided to the Geisinger Health Foundation from 2022–2024 in support of pediatrics, a space within the Pediatric Therapy & Rehab Services has been dedicated in their honor to celebrate this meaningful contribution.
OUR HOST COURSE
We’re proud to host the NEPA Invitational at the Country Club of Scranton’s renowned Old Course. Designed by legendary architect Walter Travis in 1927, the course is known for its dramatic elevation changes, fast, undulating greens, and a timeless layout that rewards creativity and precision. A frequent host of premier championships—including the Pennsylvania State Open and Amateur—it’s the perfect backdrop for a weekend of great golf and even greater impact.
