GW HOSPITAL WOMEN’S BOARD 21ST ANNUAL CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT

June 17, 2024

Kenwood Golf & Country Club, Bethesda, MD

For two decades, the dedicated members of the Women's Board have organized an annual charity golf tournament, a highly anticipated event that has raised vital funds to support a myriad of healthcare initiatives. Last year’s tournament benefiting maternal health and child care grossed $42,000. 

This year, we have made the strategic decision to focus our efforts on promoting mental health and well-being. Recognizing the profound impact that mental health has on individuals, families, and communities, we are committed to raising awareness and resources to support initiatives that prioritize this often-overlooked aspect of holistic care.

We extend a warm invitation to players from the esteemed GW medical community, as well as esteemed members of the DMV areas, to join us in this noble endeavor. Your involvement in this tournament will be a testament to your commitment to the well-being of our community and a symbol of solidarity in our collective pursuit of a healthier, more resilient future. Together, we can make a tangible difference in people’s lives by providing them with the resources, support, and care they deserve.

This year’s charity tournament will benefit the

GW Resiliency and Well-Being Center
