Our Why

The Purple Hands Inaugural Golf Tournament was created with one purpose in mind.  That is to turn community connections into life changing opportunity.

Purple Hands believes that when we come together intentionally, we can build pathways for young people to succeed academically, personally, and professionally. This tournament is more than a day on the course. It is a movement of mentorship, scholarships, and service coming to life in one unified effort.

Golf represents focus, discipline, integrity, and relationship building. The same values we instill in the youth and families we serve. Hosting our inaugural tournament at Pine Island Country Club in Charlotte, NC allows us to bring together leaders, professionals, supporters, and changemakers who believe that access and opportunity should never be limited by circumstance.

This event marks the beginning of an annual tradition designed to create sustainable impact for generations.
