The seventh annual Zach Johnson Foundation Classic is Monday at Elmcrest Country Club in Cedar Rapids.
The event brings two-time major champion Johnson back to his home course as he and his foundation raise money for Kids on Course, a nonprofit providing tutoring, enrichment, parent engagement support and health support to children at Grant, Harrison and Van Buren Elementary Schools and Roosevelt and Wilson Middle Schools in Cedar Rapids. Last year, the ZJFC raised $1 million for the charity.
