With its signature golf tournament, Cashiers Cares continues its mission of compassion.
For nearly 20 years, this grassroots organization has turned generosity into action, helping support trusted nonprofits that serve children, families, seniors, and neighbors facing hardship throughout Southern Jackson County and the surrounding area.
On Monday, September 14, Cashiers Cares invites golfers and supporters to tee up for good at its Charity Golf Event at Trillium Links. Check-in begins at 9:30 A.M., with a shotgun start at 10:30 A.M. The day promises mountain views, friendly competition, and the satisfying knowledge that every swing helps strengthen the safety net for local residents in need.
Cashiers Cares is a 501(c)(3) organization run entirely by volunteers. Proceeds from the event support a broad network of nonprofits, including AWAKE Children’s Advocacy Center, the Literacy Council of Cashiers, Cashiers Valley Preschool, Hampton Preschool & Early Learning Center, Community Care Clinic of Highlands-Cashiers, Fishes and Loaves Food Pantry, Four Seasons, Pisgah Legal Services, SAFE, and United Christian Ministries of Jackson County.
Together, these organizations touch nearly every part of community life. AWAKE advocates for children affected by abuse and helps coordinate care in a child-friendly setting. The Literacy Council helps adults and children overcome barriers created by illiteracy, while Cashiers Valley Preschool and Hampton Preschool give young learners nurturing foundations for kindergarten and beyond.
Other beneficiaries meet urgent daily needs. Community Care Clinic provides free primary medical care for those who might otherwise go without. Fishes and Loaves and United Christian Ministries help stock pantries and tables for families experiencing food insecurity. Four Seasons offers hospice and palliative care regardless of ability to pay. Pisgah Legal Services pursues justice for low-income neighbors, and SAFE works to eliminate domestic and sexual violence through prevention, advocacy, protection, education, and healing.
What sets Cashiers Cares apart is its direct impact: donations are channeled to the agencies doing the work on the ground, where resources can quickly become groceries, medical visits, legal help, classroom support, safety, and comfort for those who need it most.
Last year, it was able to locally distribute a little more than $160,000.
Whether you register a foursome, become a sponsor, volunteer, or simply help spread the word, your participation helps Cashiers Cares continue building a legacy rooted in empathy, action, and enduring community care.
In a place celebrated for its natural beauty, Cashiers Cares reflects something even more profound – a commitment to people. And thanks to those who give generously, that commitment grows stronger with every swing, every smile, and every life touched.
