Dear Friends,

Our biennial Lotus Network Golf Tournament is more than a day on the course—it’s our largest fundraiser of the year and a powerful way to support the women we serve.

On Monday, June 15, we invite you to join us at The Club at Inverness, where sweeping views and a beautiful course set the stage for a day filled with camaraderie, joy, and meaningful impact.

From the first tee to the final putt, this day is designed to be both fun and inclusive. We play a scramble format, which means no pressure—just fun. Every shot is a team effort because at Lotus Network, we believe we’re always better together. And of course, we’ve added a few creative contests along the way to keep things light, playful, and memorable.

This event is open to both men and women, and we especially love seeing men show up in support of the women in their lives—wives, daughters, sisters, colleagues, and friends. It’s a meaningful way to say, “I see you. I support you. I’m part of your journey.”

We encourage you to invite the men in your life to join us—this is a meaningful way for them to show their support and be part of something that truly makes a difference.

Not a golfer? No problem. We’ve created a beautiful alternative—a guided hike at the nearby Bluffs Regional Park Trail. After time on the trail, hikers will join the golfers for a delicious lunch so we can all come together and share in the day.

Lotus Network exists to create spaces where women feel connected, empowered, and supported, but the real impact is what happens next. Women arrive unsure and leave feeling truly seen. They find community, take risks they might not otherwise take, and begin to imagine new possibilities for their lives. Sometimes it just takes one swing, one moment, one connection to change everything. This is the impact Lotus is making—and why continued investment matters.

At the heart of it all, this day is about more than birdies and bogeys. It’s about connection. It’s about showing up. It’s about being part of something that changes lives in both big and small ways.

Grab your clubs, gather your friends, or lace up your walking shoes—we promise a day that will leave you feeling inspired, connected, and grateful you said yes.

Spots on the course—and on the trail—are limited, so we encourage you to use this link to reach out to Lisa McAlister at mcalister@lotusnetwork.org and be part of this special day. Because if there’s one day where purpose meets play, where laughter echoes across the fairways and on the trails, and connection comes as naturally as a well-placed drive, it’s our Biennial Lotus Network Golf Tournament and Hike.
 

With gratitude and excitement,
 

Lisa & Leslie
