We had an amazing time at this year's Central Oregon Charity Championship ! Our team was made up of two board members and 2 amazing community members who brought home prizes for men's longest drive and the putting championship! Special thanks to Hayden Homes, LLC and Greenbarn Events for putting on an amazing community event at Sunriver Resort's Crosswater Golf Course. So many local non-profits benefitted from the $80,000 raised!

We are excited to announce that the Education Foundation has been selected as one of 32 local nonprofits participating in the Hayden Homes, LLC Charity Championship Tour!

This means an opportunity to bring even more attention to the students and educators in our Bend-La Pine Schools. The funding gap is real and participating in this Charity Championship gives us the opportunity to help fill that gap and enrich student’s education right here in Bend, La Pine and Sunriver !

There are 2 charity foursome spots still available!

We are incredibly grateful to be included alongside so many wonderful local organizations doing important work in our community.
