Our History

Three Consecutive Years of Golf for a Greater Cause.

It began with a simple round of golf among friends who wanted to do something meaningful for children in Venezuela. Then more people joined. More businesses stepped forward. The field grew. The amount raised grew. And what began as one day among friends started becoming a South Florida tradition with a purpose.

The Inaugural Tournament

84 players came together for the first Swing for Children of Venezuela tournament. $6,000 raised — the inaugural event demonstrated that a shared love of golf could become a powerful way to support children in Venezuela.

This Year, We Play for Something Bigger.

Golf, community and purpose come together for our third consecutive year. But 2026 brings a new urgency. The earthquakes that struck Venezuela disrupted communities, displaced families and placed additional pressure on children whose education was already vulnerable. This year, the tournament has an opportunity to help transform that emergency into a path forward.
