About this Event
Swing for a Cause: Golf Tournament Supporting Foster Youth
Join us for a meaningful day on the green where great golf meets an even greater cause.
The Contra Costa College EOPS/NextUp programs invite you to our annual golf tournament benefiting the Dr. George G. Mills Jr. Scholarship, a scholarship dedicated to supporting current and former foster youth as they pursue higher education and brighter futures.
Why This Matters
The Dr. George G. Mills Jr. Scholarship provides direct financial support to students who have experienced foster care—helping remove barriers to college success and empowering students to focus on their goals. Every registration, sponsorship, and donation goes directly toward creating opportunities and lasting impact for these students.
What to Expect:
- A fun and welcoming day of golf
- Raffles, contests, and prizes
- Community connection and purpose-driven giving
- A chance to make a real difference—on and off the course
Whether you’re an avid golfer, a casual player, or simply passionate about supporting foster youth, your participation helps change lives.
Special Contests & Prizes
Participants will have opportunities to win exciting prizes made possible through the generosity of our sponsors:
Closest to the Pin Challenge
Sponsored by Primetime Golf, a premier golf simulator experience and proud Contra Costa College alumni-supported business. The winner will receive a $100 Primetime Golf gift card.
Tournament Raffle Prize

We are incredibly grateful to these community partners for helping us enhance the tournament experience while supporting foster youth students.
