“The golf tournament is our primary fundraiser, so it’s crucial to our work to give back to local hospital heart centers to improve the journey of kids and their families impacted by a CHD. It was an honor to receive the Play It Forward donation and build a relationship with the GolfStatus and Dormie Network teams. They have been part of every golf event, and we are very grateful!”

“Charity golf tournaments do so much more than just raise money,” says Steve Mattern, Chief Operating Officer at GolfStatus. “They bring communities together, creating lasting connections, and generate critical funding that helps nonprofits fulfill their missions. Play It Forward is our chance to recognize these organizations and the impact they’re making, and help one deserving event accomplish even more.”
