“Our goal is to build the most unique golf tournament and festival out there, not only by distributing live music throughout the event, but also by having our contribution to MusicCounts help put music in the hands and ears of our communities’ children.

The 2018 inaugural event, which took place in June of 2018, was an astounding success, with a sold-out tournament, and a rockin’ concert with headliner’s Honeymoon Suite, and raised just over $10,000 in cash and donations that went to a local Okanagan single mother of 3 young children who was struggling financially with taking care of her youngest child with Alexanders Disease, a progressive neurological disease.
