Last week, so many Golfers and Sponsors combined for an incredible day of fun on the course and raised OVER $20,000 in the process!

We dodged the hurricane and about 3 inches of rain, ending up with an absolutely perfect Tuesday. It was wet, but that didn’t stop our teams from having a blast on the course at Val Halla in Cumberland. 

We couldn’t be more thankful for your support - each BIG SWING demonstrates YOUR generosity. You are part of something bigger than a golf game - loving our neighbors through ministries and programs that empower them with jobs, the English language and friendship.

It’s an honor to be partnered with each golfer and sponsor and volunteer.

Congrats to our 2023 CHAMPS!
