2025 Golf Outing Recap

Thank you for making our 2025 Food For Friends Golf fundraiser another successful event.  Our golf committee wishes to extend a special thank you to all the golfers, sponsors, and hard-working smiling-volunteers who attended or contributed to the event this last Tuesday.  What a great day to be outdoors, sunny, 80 degree temperatures and a full course with 132 golfers signed up for all the fun golfing and activities. For the first time in our 22 years of this fundraiser we had one lucky golfer hit a HOLE IN ONE on the 5^th which is a par three!

We had 132 golfers signed up along with 12 volunteers, where we started with a warm welcome and our traditional 9-11 Patriot Day Remembrance ceremony where the Bartlett VFW, and Bartlett Fire Department stood in representation of those who have served our country.  Once the golfers wrapped up play, we broke bread together and had our annual raffle. 

This year at the banquet we changed things up, and we had an MC Mr. Marty Jalove, Master of Happiness, interview a panel of three people. The highlight for many was the heartfelt messages from the guest speakers. They were a single mom, a Partner, and a long-time volunteer who shared their hearts and personal experiences with Food For Friends, why the work is important, and how it affected their lives.  We also had representation from many of our long-time partners, including Fellowship Housing, Annex Hotel, and the HELPS Ministry.  

We appreciate your continued commitment to support our mission.  As a result of your generosity, we were able to raise over $40,000 to continue funding the good work God has planned through FOOD FOR FRIENDS - to Fight Hunger and Give Hope. Should you desire to support God's ministry throughout the year, please email info@foodforfriends.org for more information about the available options. 

Thank you again for joining in the battle to Fight Hunger and bring goodness to a world in need of Hope! 

Finally, we have made a change of the date for next year and pushed it a week later to Tuesday, September 15, 2026.  Please mark your calendars to join the FOOD FOR FRIENDS 23rd Annual Golf Outing at the Bartlett Hills Golf Course , we will see you there!

Warm Regards,

Food For Friends Board of Directors
