The Life Together Stakeholders Open is the charity golf event designed to raise money for the support of Life Together’s social outreach programming. The non-profits multi- facetted programming offers a renaissance for life in the urban setting.
Life Together’s mission is to strengthen the lives and well being of citizens in Memphis and Shelby County. Enjoy the game, the crowds, foods and the fun!
Life Together, Inc. is a nonprofit that serves the Tri-State area and particularly Memphis, Tennessee. Children and youth, seniors, the incarcerated, and the socially disadvantaged have benefitted from Life Together programs for more than a quarter century. During the drug epidemic of crack-cocaine in the late 1990’s, Life Together, Inc. conducted a “Take the Pledge Campaign” against gangs, guns, drugs, and violence.
Over 3000 youth and adults took the pledge and wore specially prepared t-shirts that displayed the pledge. Currently, the Final Escape Program for ex-offenders is headlining the nonprofit’s efforts. Having dedicated renovated facilities on 588 Vance Avenue, the Final Escape Program provides mentoring, employment readiness training, and a curriculum-based skills course for ex-offenders asserting never to go back to jail again.
The Life Together Stakeholders Open is a golf tournament that honors golfers both past and present. Our goal is to shine a light upon the “old timers” that were denied the right to play professional golf because of race. Memphis has men and women of such gifted golfing abilities. Most are past their prime! It is these individuals that the tournament will honor as well as raise funds to support Life Together social programming.
The tournament will be conducted on September 25, 2021 at North Creek Golf Course in Southaven, MS. Each of the 18 tee boxes will bear the name of a past or present golfer who has displayed excellence, ancillary support for the African American community, and a sustained, undeniable love for the game. Keeping those names alive and remembered is very important.
