Enjoy a day on the green as you make a difference while forging long-lasting business connections that could lead to lucrative deals. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just starting out, this outing is perfect for all skill levels. We are bringing together business and community to:

Partner with Document the Abuse in our steadfast support of women whose lives have been impacted by sexual assault and domestic violence, yet are still able to flourish as entrepreneurs and engaged citizens. Proceeds from this event will allow for the continued support needed and enable us to provide scholarships to those who have been impacted

Connect corporations, minority businesses, government, state, nonprofits, and local agencies to foster relationships and business development

Raise funds to provide underserved communities with programming and services designed to build stronger communities and close the income gap.
