Swing for a Cause, Strike a Chord for Kids.

Join us for Golf ’n’ Gliss, a benefit supporting Lyra Society, a women-run nonprofit expanding access to world-class harp education for Philadelphia public school students. Lyra removes barriers by providing students with free harps, individualized lessons, mentorship, and college and financial aid guidance.

100% of Lyra’s graduates attend college, university, or conservatory – many as first-generation students.

Your participation helps make this possible.
