Teeing Up Care for Senior – Golf Community Event

The Teeing Up Care for Seniors event is open to both golfers and non-golfers.

 It’s a relaxed and enjoyable afternoon where everyone is welcome to take part and help support FCI Caring. Instead of playing all 18 holes, attendees will try various golf challenges, meet other members of the community, and see the real difference your support makes.

Golf Contests

Driving Range Challenge

  • Step up to the tee and see how far and how accurately you can hit the ball. Whether you want to go for the longest drive or hit special targets, this contest is great for golfers of all skill levels.

Putting Challenge

  • Are you capable of keeping a steady hand? Here’s a set of putting challenges designed to test your touch, accuracy, and confidence on the green. With each putt, you get an opportunity to claim bragging rights.

Chipping Challenge

  • Show off your short game by trying to land chip shots as close to the pin as you can. Accuracy matters most in this popular contest, which is fun for both beginners and experienced golfers.

Grenade Challenge

  • Want to try something new? The Grenade Challenge offers a fresh idea during the afternoon: a golf competition that puts your creativity, strategy, and ability to make shots to the test. This will be one of the most unforgettable aspects of the event.

More Than Golf

The event is not just about friendly competition; it is an opportunity to get together and show our support for FCI Caring. Throughout the afternoon, you will have the chance to meet local leaders, enjoy good food and drinks, win prizes, and see the positive difference your participation makes.

No matter how often you play golf, or whether you only play from time to time, or whether your aim is simply to have a pleasant way of giving your time to others, you’ll find something that suits you here.

We invite you to take part in a day filled with fun, friendly competition, and a positive impact on the community; each swing has the power to change people’s lives.

Miles of Hope

Helping those in need one mile at a time: your generosity takes them further.

Travelers Aid’s annual event supports transportation for San Diegans in need. Join us!

Themed cocktails, beer, wine, and a full Mediterranean dinner will be set to a background of summertime fun and live music, with silent auctions and raffles rounding out the event. This year, we’re happy to offer an open bar! We hope you can join us for Miles of Hope, and will help spread the word to your friends, families, and colleagues.

We’ll be raising funds to help provide transportation to low income older adults right here in San Diego. Access to transportation allows our clients to stay independent and make necessary life connections.

We’re also raising funds to support our Journey to Safety program. Survivors of domestic violence need our help to get to medical, legal, and counseling appointments locally, AND to leave the area so that they can live in places of safety and support. We provide many modes of transportation support as well as hotel stays and food during travel. This popular and needed program is being threatened by a lack of future funding, and it’s so important to continue our work in this space!

Please support us on May 7th by purchasing a ticket, making a donation, or sponsoring the event. You can also make a difference by purchasing a ticket for one of our cherished clients or volunteers at a discounted price!
