Southeast Tennessee Project Access

We had a fantastic day at Golf for Good, benefiting Southeast Tennessee Project Access and Volunteers in Medicine, Chattanooga, Inc. The weather held off, and we enjoyed a magnificent day with two sold-out flights. A huge thank you to all of our volunteers, participants, and sponsors for making this event such a success. We couldn't have done it without you!

Most importantly both organizations are blessed with the proceeds which go to benefit the uninsured patients of our region.

It’s game day!

Grateful for a beautiful start to the morning! 🙌🏼⛳️

Thank you for all of our teams, staff, volunteers and sponsors for coming out today!

🏌️‍♂️ Friday the 13th might be known for its superstitions, but we’re feeling lucky as we head into tomorrow’s Golf for Good with Volunteers in Medicine, Chattanooga, Inc.! Our team has worked hard, and one lucky shot could turn your day into a Friday the 13th to remember—by winning a 2024 Toyota Tundra from Capital Toyota with a hole-in-one! ⛳️ Who’s ready to test their luck? 🚙🎉

We are excited to announce that Golf for Good is officially ON for Friday, September 13, at Brown Acres, benefitting Southeast Tennessee Project Access and Volunteers in Medicine, Chattanooga, Inc..

After thorough discussions and consulting with local weather experts, we’ve decided to move forward with the tournament as planned. While the forecast suggests intermittent showers throughout the day, we are optimistic that it won’t put a damper on the fun. Just be sure to pack your rain gear, and we’ll be ready for anything the weather throws our way!

In the unlikely event of severe weather, we’ll be prepared to pause play temporarily. However, current forecasts indicate only a minimal chance of any significant disruptions.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience as we evaluated the best course of action. Now, we can’t wait to hit the greens with you for a fantastic day of golf, camaraderie, and support for a great cause!
