In a region where mountain vistas stir the soul and community spirit runs deep, Cashiers Cares quietly continues its mission of compassion. For nearly 20 years, this grassroots organization has been a steadfast lifeline – channeling generosity into action through 14 trusted nonprofits that serve Jackson County’s most vulnerable.

On Monday, September 15, Cashiers Cares invites you to tee up for good at its 3rd Annual Charity Golf Tournament, held at the breathtaking Trillium Links. The day begins with check-in at 9:30 A.M. and a shotgun start at 10:30 A.M., followed by a celebratory luncheon and awards reception. Expect sweeping views, warm camaraderie, and a shared sense of purpose—all in support of neighbors in need.

Beneficiaries include:

• Blue Ridge Free Dental Clinic
• United Christian Ministries
• SAFE
• A.W.A.K.E.
• The Literacy & Learning Center…and many more agencies that provide food, shelter, education, and mental health support.

While the tournament is the marquee event, Cashiers Cares is expanding its reach through donor engagement, educational outreach, and a newly launched digital hub spotlighting impact stories and volunteer opportunities. This year’s focus centers on rising mental health needs and family stabilization—two areas where local nonprofits are seeing urgent demand and where every dollar makes a difference.

What sets Cashiers Cares apart? Every cent donated goes directly to service agencies. Administrative costs are covered by board members and private sponsors, ensuring that your contribution uplifts children, families, seniors, and individuals facing hardship.
