The Race Track Chaplaincy of America (RTCA) National announces its 2026 Annual Golf Scramble, set for Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at the University Club of Kentucky's Big Blue Course in Lexington. The premier charity event raises critical funds to support RTCA Chaplaincies serving individuals and families throughout the horse racing industry nationwide. The highly anticipated annual scramble brings together golfers, racing industry professionals, sponsors, and RTCA supporters for a memorable day of championship golf, fellowship, great food, and exciting on-course contests--all in support of a meaningful mission. RTCA's nationwide network of Chaplains provide compassionate outreach, church services, biblical support, emergency assistance, and a host of other efforts to support racetracks across the country. From the backstretch to the boardroom, RTCA Chaplains, councils, volunteers, and staff serve where the needs are greatest--offering hope, help, and practical care to a workforce that often goes unseen. "The RTCA National Office supports local Chaplaincies nationwide by equipping them with resources, funding, training, best practices, and leadership to deliver consistent, Christ-centered ministry to the horse racing industry," said Dan Waits, executive director of RTCA. "This event combines great golf on one of Kentucky's top courses with the opportunity to make a lasting impact on hardworking individuals and families."
