Putt for Passion - Athletes for Hope

Putt for Passion

The 3rd Annual Putt for Passion Golf Tournament presented by Thrivent brought together an inspiring community of athletes, supporters, and advocates for a memorable day. Held in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, the event raised $140,000 in support of Athletes for Hope’s mental health programs: Whole Being Athlete and CHAMPS.

This year’s tournament welcomed 26 golfer foursomes, marking our largest participation to date. The day also featured a spirited Celebrity Putting Competition, with a special congratulations to AFH Board Member and Olympic Gold Medalist Benita Fitzgerald Mosley for taking home the top prize!

We were honored to have strong representation from our Board of Directors and Advisory Board, and are deeply grateful to all who attended, contributed, and championed our mission to support athlete mental well-being through sport.

Stay tuned for photos and highlights from the day!
