Lawrence, Kan. (March 17, 2026) – Turfco has generously donated $5,000 to the GCSAA Foundation, the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), to support the new Col. John Morley Centennial Campaign.

GCSAA will turn 100 on Sept. 13, 2026, and it has embarked on a Centennial fundraising campaign to establish a new endowment honoring GCSAA’s founder, Col. John Morley, with a goal of raising $1 million to fund new and innovative initiatives for the next 100 years.

Turfco is supporting the Centennial Campaign at the Heritage Partner Level, which recognizes donations of $5,000 or more. With this donation, Turfco joins the Foundation’s Platinum Tee Club, which recognizes organizations that donate $5,000 or more annually to the GCSAA Foundation. Turfco is also recognized at the Governors Club level in the Foundation’s Cumulative Giving Program for donors who have contributed between $50,000 and $99,999 since 1987.

“The relationship between GCSAA and Turfco is longstanding,” GCSAA CEO Rhett Evans said. “We thank them for their many contributions in our first century and for showing their commitment to our members and industry in our second century.”

Based in Blaine, Minn., Turfco Manufacturing and the Kinkead family have been leaders in turf maintenance for the golf, sports and lawn care industries since 1919. 

“Supporting the GCSAA Foundation is truly an honor for Turfco,” said Scott Kinkead, executive vice president of Turfco Manufacturing. “For generations, the Kinkead family and Turfco have had the privilege of partnering with the GCSAA and its members, and we’re proud to support an organization that has done so much for golf course superintendents and the future of the industry.”
