A Swinging Success!

On September 6th, 2024, Ukandu hosted its 8th annual Golf Tournament presented by Walsh Construction at Riverside Golf & Country Club. And what an event it turned out to be! We’re thrilled to announce that we raised an incredible $75,000, making this our most successful golf tournament to date!

A Day to Remember

Golfers of all skill levels gathered to enjoy a day of camaraderie, competition, and community as they shared stories, laughter, and, of course, some friendly banter on the greens.

We witnessed fantastic performances on the course with a winning score of 53. And okay, maybe some were less than fantastic. Regardless, It was inspiring to see everyone come together for a shared purpose — to support Ukandu and our mission.

Heartfelt Thanks

This event would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of so many individuals.

To our golfers, thank you for participating and bringing your best game! Your enthusiasm and sportsmanship were the driving force behind this tournament’s success. We hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did!

To our incredible volunteers, your tireless efforts and commitment to making this event seamless did not go unnoticed. From registration to on-course support, your teamwork was instrumental in creating a welcoming environment for everyone.

To our generous sponsors, we are extremely grateful for your support. Your contributions not only made this event possible but also enabled us to reach new heights in our fundraising efforts. Thank you for believing in Ukandu and our mission to create positive change in our community.

We’d like to extend an extra special thank you to our presenting sponsor Walsh Construction whose generous support helped to make this tournament a reality. 

“We are thrilled to partner with Walsh, an icon in the Pacific Northwest. Our organizations share a common culture and commitment to bringing positive impact to our shared communities, and we are so proud to work alongside them in bringing The Loft to our families. On behalf of those families, our board of directors, volunteers and staff, we thank them for their generous support of our annual golf tournament.” says Ukandu Executive Director and CEO, Jason Hickox. 

This year we were also fortunate to be able to partner with a number of other remarkable companies, organizations, and individuals. We are so thankful to be able to partner and work alongside so many incredible companies with a shared goal of bettering the lives of the communities we serve. 

Please join us in extending a heartfelt thank you to our 2024 sponsors!
