Swing Fore Charity Golf Tournament – September 17, 2021
The Kiwanis Club of Norfolk proudly hosts the annual Swing Fore Charity Golf Classic to raise money for charities in our community. The fundraiser continues the Club’s 100+ year tradition of helping to enrich the lives of children in our area.
The Kiwanis Club of Norfolk established the annual Swing Fore Charity Golf Classic in 2014 to benefit children in Hampton Roads.
Held annually at Sewells Point Golf Club, Norfolk, the event has grown each year, allowing the Kiwanis Club to expand the number of children it can help. From the first year in 2014, when the Swing Fore Charity Golf Classic raised $434, it has grown to an event that currently raises $40,000 annually.

Thank you to this year’s generous sponsors!
In addition to enriching the lives of children in our community, the event added a SUPPORT OUR TROOPS initiative that allows corporate sponsors to donate their golf entries to military service members in our area.
The event is a four-man captain’s choice which includes golf, cart, range balls, a Gourmet Gang lunch, player gift bags, free beverages (including beer), with a BBQ & fried chicken dinner after golf. All this at one of the premier golf courses in Hampton Roads. Included in each event is an opportunity to meet a member of the Professional Long Drive Championship Tour and have them hit a drive for your team.
To register, be a sponsor, or sign up for the free military member entry, contact the tournament Director, Dennis Fewell at 757-675-5501 or [email protected].
Sponsorships to help support the Swing Fore Charity Golf Classic and the Support Our Troops initiative are limited. Sign up early and be a part of this great fundraising event.
What a great presentation, and so relevant for Kiwanis Club of Norfolk, this week! Thank you Mel Price is Principal and co-founder of Work Program Architects and Chuck McPhillips is Founder and Chairman of Next Step to Success.
The Norfolk-based “Next Step to Success” program revealed that they would be purchasing the former DePaul Hospital property that sits off Kingsley Lane in the Riverpoint area of the city and turning it into the “St. Vincent de Paul House.”
“The Hospital of St. Vincent dePaul,” was the name when the first medical facility opened up on the site in 1856.
The new development will include “learning houses,” a gymnasium, a dining hall, gardens and a regulation-size soccer field, all to serve 300 students as part of Next Step’s afterschool and summer “experiential learning” programs, according to a release. Program leadership said they hope to have the campus up and running in two years as their goal is lofty: cut the poverty rate in Norfolk by one-half within a generation.
Thank you Bob Rose for the content above from our club newsletter.
Our meeting this week will be another great one! Be sure to register Kiwanians and think about a guest you can bring along.
We enjoyed having guest speakers Brenda Garrett (left) and Shelly Averett (right) with Horizons for our last meeting in March. Brenda has been a long-standing leader in Kiwanis! Thank you for keeping us up-to-date on Horizons iniatitives! #norfolkva#givingback#kiwanis... See MoreSee Less
