Ellavate Charity Foundation joyfully announces the organization’s inaugural Annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser to be held at Enterprise Golf Course, 2802 Enterprise Rd., Mitchellville, MD, on June 29th, 2024.
Founded by Dr. Ella F. Washington, an organizational psychologist and DEI expert with a wealth of experience through her involvement, the mission of the Ellavate Charity Foundation revolves around advocating for empowerment and equity within historically marginalized groups in the workplace. Through a range of activities including free webinars, community programs, and research initiatives, ECF endeavors to promote economic empowerment, foster professional development, and facilitate robust networking opportunities for business professionals.
Ellavate Charity Foundation aims to foster diversity and inclusion within the golfing community while shedding light on the experiences of underrepresented professionals in work environments. Recognizing golf’s longstanding association with the corporate world and its significance in networking and relationship-building, ECF seeks to address historical issues of exclusion and discrimination within the sport, particularly impacting people of color.
