Revisit the 1st Annual Putt for Passion Golf Tournament

On Monday, May 22nd, Athletes for Hope held its 1st Annual Putt for Passion Golf Tournament at Kenwood Country Club in Bethesda, MD. Together we raised over $125,000 from the event to support AFH’s Whole Being Athlete mental health youth school program expansion in the Washington, D.C. area, and helped grow our AFH University work at Bowie State University, Howard University, and Georgetown University to serve the broader community.  

The day featured an array of fun on-course competitions, as well as a silent auction and raffle.  Additional highlights included an appearance from the Washington Commanders Command Force, a golfer dynamic warm-up by Zac Cohen of Cohen Health and Performance, and sports equipment donations supporting Leveling the Playing Field.

A huge thank you to all of our terrific event sponsors, supporters, and participants!
