2026 Hope Is Legit Golf Outing

On July 30, 2026, we held the inaugural Hope Is Legit – The Mark Pierzecki Project Golf Outing at Fellows Creek Golf Club.

What started as an idea to honor Mark and support others impacted by suicide became so much more. It became a day filled with friends, family, laughter, memories, generosity, and hope.

And because of this incredible community, we raised just over $25,000 to help make a difference.

• 84 golfers 
• 37 dinner-only guests 
• 30+ volunteers 
• 29 raffle prizes 
• 2 Diamond Sponsors 
• 1 Silver Sponsor
• 1 Longest Drive Sponsor
• 1 Closest to the Pin Sponsor
• 1 Drone Drop Sponsor
• 1 Cannon Blast Sponsor
• 18 Hole Sponsors 
• $25,000+ raised

We were also incredibly grateful for the many people who couldn't attend but still chose to make a monetary donation to support our mission. Your generosity reminded us that you don't have to be on the golf course to make an impact. 

A special congratulations to our 2026 winning team:

James Walewski, Gary Allen, Steve Schwinke & Bob Baird

 The money raised through the golf outing will have a lasting impact on individuals and families affected by suicide.

50% of the funds raised will be dedicated to establishing a scholarship fund for children who have been affected by suicide, helping provide opportunities for young people whose lives have been changed by loss.

We are also proud to have donated $3,000 to New Hope Center for Grief Support and $3,000 to Six Feet Over, two organizations doing important work to support individuals and families navigating grief and the impact of suicide.

This event would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of our sponsors, golfers, dinner guests, volunteers, donors, and supporters.

A very special thank you to everyone who donated a raffle basket or prize. Your generosity helped make our raffle such a fun and successful part of the day.

To our volunteers who gave their time, our sponsors who believed in our mission, everyone who purchased a ticket, everyone who donated, and everyone who simply showed up and supported us—thank you.

You helped turn a day of golf into something much bigger.

You helped us honor Mark.

You helped us support others.

And most importantly, you helped us continue to spread the message that hope is legit.

We're already looking forward to next year.

The 2027 Hope Is Legit Golf Outing will be held on:

Friday, May 14, 2027
Fellows Creek Golf Club

This date holds special meaning for our family. May 14 would have been Mark's 52nd birthday.

We can't think of a better way to honor his life and legacy than by gathering together once again, creating memories, raising awareness, and turning our loss into hope for others.

We hope you'll join us.
