The Refuge Center Announces 5th Annual Golf Invitational
The Refuge Center for Counseling will host their 5th Annual Golf Invitational, Monday, September 8, 2025, at Westhaven Golf Course in Franklin, Tennessee. This year’s title sponsor will be Atmos Energy. Now in its fifth year, this event brings together golf enthusiasts, community leaders, and supporters of mental health initiatives for a day on the greens- raising critical funds for The Refuge Center’s counseling programs. This tournament is one of the primary avenues through which Refuge raises the funds to serve over 4200 kids, teens, adults, couples and families through more than 41,000 counseling sessions each year. This is all done on a sliding scale based on annual income so everyone has access to the same excellent, accessible, and affordable counseling services regardless of socio-economic status.
The tournament welcomes both individual players and teams, offering a fantastic chance to network with others while supporting mental health services. Participants will enjoy a morning of golf, on-course contests, prizes, and a post-round lunch buffet and awards reception. For more info, you can go to refugecenter.org/golf
