The Markie Foundation 21st Annual Charity Golf Tournament

July 9, 2021

Another successful fundraising event for children’s hospice and palliative care.

On Friday, July 9, 2021, The Markie Foundation hosted its 21st Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Callippe Preserve Golf Course in Pleasanton, California, raising thousands of dollars to support children’s hospice and palliative care. This marks another record amount, after raising more than $25,000 in 2019. Approximately 190 golfers and dinner guests participated in the event, which remains the organization’s primary fundraiser.

“We are overwhelmed by the support we received at this year’s event, in which we celebrated Markie and 21 years of helping others in need,” said Janis Wuelfing, Co-Founder of The Markie Foundation. “We are blessed to have so many people rally behind our cause to make a difference in the lives of terminally ill children and their families, as we honor our son Markie.”

Foundation Disburses Another $50,000 to Four Organizations
During the dinner banquet, The Markie Foundation announced its 2021 disbursement of another $25,000 to long-time beneficiary George Mark Children’s House (GMCH). The donation will help GMCH expand its child and family therapy programs, as well as provide needed patient lift beds.

The Markie Foundation also announced additional donations of $15,000 to UC Davis Foundation to support pediatric bereavement services and a specialized pediatric resource specialist position; $5,000 to Hinds Hospice for its Hinds Kids Pediatric Program and in celebration of the organization’s 40th anniversary; and $5,000 to Okizu for the continued recovery of its childhood cancer camp property following last year’s wildfires. Collectively, these donations match our largest annual disbursement ever — again, reflective of the tremendous support The Markie Foundation continues to receive.

Since its inception, The Markie Foundation has raised and disbursed nearly $500,000 — a half of million dollars! — to support children’s hospice. View our many beneficiaries.
