Golf For A Cause
Supporting Veterans. Empowering First Responders. Strengthening Communities.
Fight For Life
Hendo’s Charity Golf Tournament brings our community together to support a wide range of incredible causes. At The Hendo Foundation, we stand with those who serve. Led by 2-Time Olympic Wrestler and World MMA Champion Dan Henderson, our nonprofit is dedicated to supporting veterans, first responders, and their families through community programs, athletic mentorship, and annual fundraising events that bring people together for a purpose. With each outing, the tournament continues to grow in impact, proving that when our community shows up, lives change.
Community
Outreach
The Hendo Foundation’s Charity Golf Tournament is driven by an incredible team of volunteers who bring the event to life. Professional golfer Selanee Pendleton leads the charge, joined by dozens of dedicated community members who give their time and energy to support the cause. Their commitment helps us raise meaningful funds for admirable initiatives, turning every round of golf into real impact for those who need it most.
new year New cause
The Hendo Foundation proudly selects new charitable partners for Hendo’s Charity Golf Tournament each year, ensuring that support is continually shared with meaningful causes across the country. By rotating beneficiaries annually, the tournament is able to spread financial relief, awareness, and visibility to a wide range of organizations—each doing critical work in their communities. This approach allows the event to make a national impact, rather than concentrating all efforts in one place.
Each year’s selection process focuses on identifying charities that align with the Foundation’s mission of healing, empowerment, and community support.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsorship opportunities let businesses directly support the organizations chosen for our event while gaining meaningful community visibility. Each tier offers tailored benefits—from on-course signage and digital promotion to event-day recognition—giving companies a chance to align their brand with a trusted cause and make a real impact. Whether the goal is increased exposure or simply giving back, these packages create a clear path for businesses to help strengthen the programs and people who need it most.
Fun on the fairway
Experience a full day built around fun, community, and giving back. The tournament opens with check-in, breakfast bites, and time to meet fellow golfers before heading onto the course for great food, cold drinks, on-hole challenges, and surprise gifts that keep the energy high from start to finish.
When play wraps, everyone heads to Hendo’s Barrel House for the official after party—loaded with awesome prizes, high-stakes raffles, exclusive auction items, and specialty food and drinks created just for the event.
Every golfer also receives something truly special: an invitation to Dan Henderson’s private pig roast at his home, a legendary gathering normally reserved only for close friends and supporters.
