The Hancock Chamber of Commerce and the Hancock County Community Development Foundation invite you to participate in the 23rd Annual Swing for the Cause Golf Classic, set for Tuesday, Oct. 14 at noon at The Bridges Golf Course at Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast.

Each October, more than 100 golfers gather for a chance to win great prizes — and more importantly — to make a difference in Hancock County. Proceeds benefit the Hancock County Community Development Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity established by the Hancock Chamber in 2006 to act as an umbrella for 20 nonprofit causes with a broad community focus.

The Foundation’s mission is to sponsor and support educational and community programs that stimulate job creation, foster small business growth, strengthen workforce development, preserve local history, promote the arts, and invest in youth and leadership. Since its inception, the Foundation has served as a conduit for more than $7 million in grants and donations to strengthen the economic and cultural vitality of Hancock County.

“Supporting Swing for the Cause makes an impact on over 20 local community service efforts,” said Ray Wesson, President of the Hancock County Community Development Foundation. “This year we added two new funds to support the community: H Nation Fund and Partners for Tourism.” he said.

2024 champions include:
1st – TMH CPA’S
2nd –Breaux Services
3rd – Chiniche Engineering & Surveying

Registration for golfers and sponsors is now open. Golfers may register for $125 per person or $500 per team of four, which includes greens fees, 18 holes, cart, refreshments on the course, lunch, and the awards reception. Sponsorships start at $300 for a hole sponsorship. Players and sponsors can register online at hancockchamber.org.
