The Michael Wilkinson Foundation

The Michael Wilkinson Foundation To honor our loved one, Michael, we hope to provide hope and opportunity in the fight against substance abuse, and to help change the stigma of addiction.

Why we started this foundation? The Michael Wilkinson Foundation was established in 2016. Michael was born June 27, 1990, and attended primary, secondary and high school in Arlington, Texas. He graduated from Martin High School in 2008. His passions included art, music, writing and skateboarding. He had an infectious sense of humor, warm and caring heart and always had a way of making others laugh. He was a kind and loving person who was always willing to help others in need, but was ultimately unable to help himself in battling the demon that is addiction. After a 2+ year-long battle with op**te addiction and multiple periods in rehabilitation facilities, Michael lost his fight at the young age of 25 on November 9, 2015. This is one of many tragedies and another sad statistic that has become all too common in this era we refer to as an “op**te epidemic.” As his family, we created this foundation in Michael’s memory to offer hope to others.

⛳️❤️ WHAT A DAY! ⛳️❤️

The Michael Wilkinson Foundation’s 8th Annual Golf Tournament was a HUGE success, and we truly cannot thank everyone enough for being a part of it!

Whether you joined us as a player, donor, sponsor, volunteer, or supporter, your generosity and willingness to give back helped make this tournament possible. ❤️

Year after year, we are humbled by the incredible support this tournament receives from our community. It takes so many people coming together to make a difference, and YOU are the reason we are able to continue our mission and give back to those who need it most.

This year, because of your incredible support, we were honored to be able to present $7,500 each to Mission Arlington and Simply Grace. These donations are a direct reflection of what can happen when a community comes together with generous hearts and a desire to make a difference. ❤️

Every registration, donation, sponsorship, helping hand, and encouraging word matters. Your support allows us to continue giving back and supporting organizations that are making a difference in the lives of others.

We are so grateful for each and every one of you who showed up, stepped up, and supported us. You make this tournament a success year after year, and we are truly blessed to have such an amazing community behind us.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! ❤️
