Mamas for Mamas is teaming up with Kelowna’s Harvest Golf Club to host the 7th annual Ladies Amateur Two-Ball Golf Tournament.
This one day tournament helps raise money for Mamas for Mamas while also gathering 120 female enthusiasts for a day dedicated to sport, community and philanthropy.
This charitable initiative raised approximately $37,000 in 2023, and aims to go bigger and better on July 22 this year. The goal is to help as many mothers and caregivers in crisis as possible.
“Mamas for Mamas is a national charitable organization that provides ongoing assistance to individuals and families facing poverty-related challenges, and their mission is to transform the landscape of poverty through innovative approaches, addressing financial barriers and fostering systemic change,” said the charity in a release.
Over the last five years, this group has expanded from a grassroots initiative in the Okanagan to an organization with 62 chapters across the country.
“We believe in providing a hand-up, not a handout in order to combat the systemic issues contributing to poverty, mental health struggles, housing, and food insecurity. Through our community-based sharing economies and resource coordination, we ensure that no family faces these challenges alone,” said Mamas for Mamas.
The annual golf tournament is fully booked for 18 holes of golf, but there are other ways to contribute and help make a difference, including backing the Mamas for Mamas’ Invisible Homelessness Campaign, which aims to maximize its impact of the golf tournament.
This campaign will support families who are homeless but remain unseen in the community. Contributions to this event can help provide essential resources.
