The Walker
Fore the Children
Golf Tournament has been held every year since 1990, with proceeds to benefit the children and families who depend upon the vital programs and services of Walker. Nearly 150 people attend this important Boston-area tournament, and the success of the event continues to grow each year.
The Walker
Fore the Children
tournament features a putting contest and prizes for closest to the pin, a hole-in-one, and the longest drive. An awards reception following the round features great food and drinks, and live and silent auctions with many unique items and experiences to bid on. Even if you don't play golf, there are many additional ways to sponsor or underwrite this very special afternoon.
