Topgolf Durham
Wednesday, August 20
5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Golf. Food. Friends. Impact.
Last year’s inaugural event brought together over 150 community members across 34 teams for an unforgettable evening of friendly competition at Topgolf Durham, raising $37,820 to support the SwingPals mission. This year, we are going even bigger. Join us as we gather again to celebrate community, drive change, and empower the next generation, one golf swing at a time.
A fun night out with a powerful purpose.
At SwingPals, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of the challenges they face. For more than a decade, SwingPals has worked alongside Durham Public Schools to support students who are navigating adversity while often being underserved. Our unique curriculum blends golf instruction, mindfulness practices, and emotional resilience training to help students build self-confidence, manage their emotions, and take charge of their own journey.
Today, the need is more urgent than ever. As youth mental health continues to decline, your support allows us to expand our programs, reach more students, and strengthen our team.
But this isn’t just a one-night event!
When you register, you will get your own personal fundraising page to support SwingPals and compete with your team against others for fun and a chance to win some fantastic prizes. From the moment you sign up until the big event on August 20, you’ll compete in a friendly Peer-to-Peer (P2P) fundraising competition — earning points, building momentum, and making a difference long before you ever swing a club, so build your advantage and sign up now. Whether you’re an individual or part of a team, every dollar you raise helps our students reach their outcomes and boosts your standing on the leaderboard. Remember, sign up early to maximize your impact your and a shot at prizes!

Voices of Impact
"My son, Fred, joined SwingPals in 6th grade and stayed with the SwingPals through high school. He is now enrolled at ECU studying journalism. When my son joined SwingPals, his disposition was anger, lack of concentration or consideration for others. My son now not only loves golf, but he is also a well-rounded and takes pride in himself. My son would not be the son I have now if it was not for the SwingPals program.” - Jennifer Wright (Fred’s Mom)
"Love the idea and purpose behind SwingPals! They aim to use the game of golf as a bridge to empower and teach life skills to youths facing adversity that will help them to pursue their dreams. Great example of how golf is more than just a game!"
- Alex Smalley, PGA Tour
"The HV3 Foundation is proud to support SwingPals and their mission to empower students in Durham Public Schools through golf, mentorship, and social-emotional learning. By partnering with programs like SwingPals, we’re helping create opportunities for underserved youth to build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of community—both on and off the course." - Harold Varner III, LIV Tour
