WHY FAIRWAYS FOR FAMILIES?

The 6th Annual Fairways for Families Golf Tournament is officially underway! While our mission is rooted in supporting families through deep loss, Fairways for Families is a joy-filled, high-energy day on the course. It’s a chance to gather, laugh, compete, and enjoy great golf, all while making a meaningful difference for bereaved families.

Gathering Hope supports survivors of miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss by breaking the barriers of loneliness and isolation, empowering them to find healing through community. With your partnership, we create opportunities for transformational connections and provide grieving moms with vital resources to support their healing journey. Anchoring Fairways For Families around Father’s Day is our way of honoring all bereaved dads and grandfathers who deserve recognition and support, too.

This year’s tournament will take place on Friday, June 12, 2026, at the beautiful Oeste Ranch Golf Course. We invite you to register your team or join us as a sponsor for Fairways For Families 2026, a highly popular and growing golf tournament that has become a favorite for players, sponsors, and volunteers alike! This fun and impactful event offers the perfect combination of camaraderie, connection, and purpose.

Register early to ensure your spot at this unforgettable event and maximize your sponsorship benefits! Every registration includes:


• On-the-go breakfast
• 18 holes at beautiful Oeste Ranch
• Complimentary drinks (alcoholic & non-alcoholic, excluding liquor)
• Lunch
• The chance to win exciting prizes!

When you register, sponsor, or play, you’re doing more than enjoying a round of golf, you’re helping break the barriers of loneliness and isolation for grieving families.

Your participation is more than just a round of golf, it’s a meaningful way to care for bereaved families and support Gathering Hope’s programming, helping them navigate life after baby loss. We’re excited to partner with you and look forward to seeing you on the greens this June!
