For 25 years, family and friends have gathered for the Duke Classic—a day that blends golf, camaraderie, and heartfelt generosity in support of children battling pediatric cancer, sickle cell, and other serious illnesses. What began as a tribute has grown into a powerful tradition, raising nearly $750,000 to fuel the mission of Embrace Kids Foundation.
This milestone year honors the enduring legacy of Canio “The Duke” Constantino, whose spirit, laughter, and love for life continue to inspire everyone who tees it up in his name. After his passing in 2001, the Constantino family created this event to bring people together and to lift up families facing unimaginable challenges—just as The Duke lifted everyone around him.
Embrace Kids Foundation remains dedicated to easing the burdens these families carry, offering hope, stability, and compassion when they need it most. Every dollar raised through the Duke Classic goes directly to this mission.
Twenty‑five years in, we’re not just playing golf—we’re celebrating his spirit, strengthening a community, and changing lives.
