23rd PHILLIP FULMER & CHARLIE DANIELS GOLF CLASSIC RAISES FUNDS FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION
The Jason Foundation, Inc. (JFI), a nationally recognized leader in youth suicide awareness and prevention, is pleased to announce its 23rd Annual Phillip Fulmer and Charlie Daniels Golf Classic scheduled for Tuesday, August 17. This massively successful event is JFI’s largest and only annual fundraiser.
Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10 – 24, claiming more than 125 young lives each week in our nation. The Jason Foundation’s mission is to equip students, parents, teachers, and the community with the tools and resources to help identify and assist youth at-risk for suicide. JFI’s intention is to help those around youth recognize when young people are in pain and know to get professional help involved as soon as possible. The Jason Foundation has never charged for any of its programs, materials, or services. The money raised during this event directly funds program development and distribution.
This year’s tournament will be at the Hermitage Golf Course in Old Hickory, TN, where over 280 golfers will participate. Of course, Coach Phillip Fulmer will be present on this day with other recognizable patrons to support the cause. The 2021 Phillip Fulmer & Charlie Daniels Golf Classic will also honor the late Charlie Daniels for his valued support for 20 plus years.
Co-title sponsors for the Golf Classic are Acadia Healthcare, ALPA Construction and Wesley Financial. The success of the event would not have been possible without the numerous sponsors, auction donors, and volunteers.
