38th Annual Optimist | SEEF Golf Tournament

Saturday, October 24, 2026

Each year, a record number of golfers gather at Haven Golf Course to “Tee One Up for the Kids!”—making our annual golf tournament one of SEEF’s most anticipated and successful fundraising events. Thanks to the enthusiastic participation of our golfers, the generosity of our sponsors and donors, and the dedication of our board members and volunteers, the tournament continues to grow year after year.

This event is SEEF’s largest fundraiser, raising nearly $20,000 annually in support of SEEF and the Optimist Club’s shared mission to benefit youth throughout our community. As a proud co-sponsor, the Optimist Club treats participants to their famous “Sausage Dogs” for lunch, adding to the tradition and fun of the day.

Golf games and contests, exciting raffle prizes, and a silent auction round out the experience, creating a day filled with friendly competition and community spirit. Proceeds from the annual golf tournament directly support SEEF’s commitment to Keeping Kids First by funding programs and initiatives that enrich educational opportunities for local students.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Haven Golf Course and its outstanding staff, as well as our sponsors, donors, and the many volunteers who generously gave their time and talents to help organize and run this incredible event. Your support truly makes a lasting difference for our kids.
