(Formerly The Gary Lipman Invitational)
Now in our 14th year, the Gary Lipman Initiative has partnered with the local church and WORLD HOPE INTERNATIONAL to drill more than 170 clean water wells, bringing health, safety, education, and economic empowerment to vulnerable West African communities.
Consider a donation of any amount - matched up to $150K!
Each year, more people are killed from dirty water than all forms of violence. Globally, 785 million people lack even a basic drinking-water service, including 144 million people who are dependent on surface water. Billions of people are dependent upon a contaminated drinking water source.
Please join us in bringing health and hope to more communities this year!

Easily donate to the live and silent auctions through our Wish List! You may also Contact Us to donate gift cards, services, getaways, tickets, or other items.
Our events wouldn’t happen without our many generous volunteers. We have volunteer opportunities leading up to both events, to support our live and silent auctions, and during the Friday night banquet and golf on Saturday. We’d love to see you get involved!
The annual golf tournament takes place in honor of Gary Lipman, faithful Christ follower, loving husband, father and friend. While he had a passion for golf, he had a bigger passion for helping others.
After his sudden passing in 2008, a group of Sent Church men decided to hold a golf tournament in his honor. The goal was to raise half the funds for one well. Instead, enough was raised to build two wells!
What’s taken place since has gone beyond what anyone imagined!
