Kidder Township, PA – September 15, 2025 – The Carbon Chamber & Economic Development Corporation (CCEDC), a proud partner of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce is excited to host the 19th Annual Sturm Cup Golf Tournament at the breathtaking Jack Frost National Golf Club.

On-course vendors will also provide interactive games, giveaways, drinks, and snacks to keep the energy high throughout the day.

The event concludes with a luncheon and awards ceremony, where prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams, as well as the Best Jack & Jill (co-ed) team.
