Proceeds from sponsorships and the silent auction benefit The Wellspring. The Wellspring is thrilled to be a part of The Memorial Golf Tournament and to join forces with an amazing group of volunteers through the CCFB MGA! This is a particularly meaningful event for the agency given the large Veteran population that they serve.
Since 1931, The Wellspring has served as a community leader in bringing people and partners together to address some of the greatest challenges of our time: domestic violence, homelessness, sexual assault, poverty, mental illness and children facing adversity. The Wellspring also serves as our region’s only accredited Sexual Assault Center, and the lead agency in the Family Justice Center of Ouachita Parish. Grab your clubs and take your best swing for The Wellspring! Together, we can change our community, one life at a time!
Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Visit wellspringofnela.org/thememorial and scroll to the bottom of the page to view the sponsorship packet.
