WHAT IS THE IT'S TOPS FUTURE CLASSIC?

Get ready for some friendly competition and serious creativity! Teams will design and build their own custom mini golf holes, and then the public gets to play through the course — all while supporting a great cause!

To celebrate 50 years in business, It’s Tops is giving back to the community that’s supported us since 1976. Every dollar from team registrations and course fees will go directly to the Youth Service Bureau of St. Joseph County, helping to ensure all youth have access to safety, shelter,  and the opportunity to succeed.

And here’s the best part — It’s Tops is covering all event costs, so 100% of every donation goes straight to helping local youth.

Join us for a one-of-a-kind event that combines creativity, teamwork, and community — the perfect way to thank Michiana for 50 amazing years!
