The Wes Gavett Memorial Golf Tournament is not only a friendly game of golf to honor our friend and colleague Wes Gavett, but also a fundraiser for SWANA Beaver Chapter’s Wes Gavett Memorial Fund. The Stone Creek Golf Club was Wes’ home course where he played hundreds of rounds of golf, was a long-time member of the Men’s Club, and had one of his two holes-in-one. The tournament will be held as a shotgun event with groups of golfers all teeing off at the same time on different holes. A buffet dinner and awards ceremony will follow.
About the Wes Gavett Fund
Donations, sponsorships, and registration fees from the golf tournament are directed towards the Wes Gavett Memorial Fund and directed towards charitable organizations focused on supporting children and families in need, with input from Wes’ family. Funds raised from the 2nd inaugural event held in 2021 totaled close to $14,000 and were donated to World Central Kitchen. Funds raised from the 2022 tournament are planned to be donated to the OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
The World Central Kitchen (WCK) is a not-for-profit non-governmental organization devoted to providing meals in the wake of natural disasters and humanitarian and community crises. Founded in 2010 by celebrity chef José Andrés, the organization prepared food in Haiti following its devastating earthquake. Its method of operations is to be a first responder and then to collaborate and galvanize solutions with local chefs to solve the problem of hunger, immediately following a disaster. The $14,000 donation given to WCK will be used to feed refugee families fleeing to nearby countries to escape the war and devastation brought on by the Russian invasion of Ukraine
