Deschutes Children’s Foundation (DCF) announces the return of its signature fundraiser, the Chip in FORE! Kids Golf Tournament, taking place on Friday, October 10, 2025, at Bend Golf Club. This annual event combines a day of fun and camaraderie with a critical mission: raising funds to support the children and families of Central Oregon.
The tournament features a full day on the green, complete with lunch, local beer and cocktails, games, raffle prizes, and an awards reception. Proceeds from the event help DCF provide the space and support where 23 nonprofit partners serve more than 19,000 children and families annually across four campuses in Bend, Redmond, and La Pine.
“We are honored to continue supporting Deschutes Children’s Foundation and their incredible work,” said Jacob Fain of The Desert Pine Group at Morgan Stanley, a longtime supporter of the event. “DCF’s collaborative model makes a real difference in the lives of children and families, and we’re proud to help ensure these vital services remain strong in our community.”
For more than 30 years, DCF has saved partners more than $1.4 million annually in overhead costs, allowing nonprofits to focus on delivering life-changing services such as health care, early education, foster care advocacy, and services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
“The Chip in FORE! Kids Golf Tournament is one of our favorite community traditions,” said Cassi MacQueen, executive director of Deschutes Children’s Foundation. “It’s more than just a fun day on the golf course — it’s a powerful way for our community to come together and ensure that thousands of children and families have the resources they need to thrive. We couldn’t do this without our incredible sponsors and supporters.”
