It’s time to grab your clubs and gather your team. The West Ridge Charity Golf Tournament returns Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at Meadow Lakes Golf Course in Prineville. Now in its fifth year, this much-anticipated event brings the community together to support two organizations dedicated to youth across Central Oregon: Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend and Friends of the Children Central Oregon.
Hosted by the West Ridge Men’s Golf Club, the tournament is all about combining fun with purpose. Golfers will enjoy a two-net team format across 18 holes, exciting contests and prizes, and a silent auction featuring rounds of golf and other great items. Whether you’re a scratch golfer or just out for a good time, the impact of the day reaches far beyond the course.
“We’re grateful to be back for our fifth year as a charity partner,” said Alice Ivie, Vice President of Development at Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend. “It’s always a fun day, and it means even more when we get to do it alongside our friends at Friends of the Children Central Oregon. Together, we’re creating more chances for local youth to feel seen, supported, and inspired.”
Friends of the Children Central Oregon also returns as a charity partner. Rachel Cardwell, Executive Director of Friends of the Children Central Oregon, shared, “I continue to be grateful for the many ways our community shows up for our kids. The West Ridge Tournament is a shining example of how simple it is to show our youth that we all care deeply about them.”
Roy Altman, tournament organizer and member of the West Ridge Men’s Golf Club, is excited to welcome new and returning players. “We started this tournament to give back to kids in our region, and every year it keeps growing. It’s a great way to connect, have fun, and invest in something that really matters.”
