The best way to revolutionize a golf tournament
...is to not have one!
For the third year in a row, the Shine Initiative will be joined by a number of businesses and individuals throughout the community in skipping a long day of golf and heading straight to the 19th hole! The 3rd Annual Keep Your Mind Open once again promises to be a good time for a good cause, using a platform of trivia, comedy, and food and drink to help raise awareness for the fight against mental illness and honor exceptional work done by the members of our community.
