After Covid forced us to cancel our 2020 event, and push back our 2021 event from the spring to the fall, we were finally able to get everyone back together and out on the links for the 30th Annual DSF Mike Considine Golf Outing on Monday October 18, 2021 back out at our favorite golf course at the Lansdowne Resort. We were worried that turnout would be low, that people would be too cautious to attend, that luckily that wasn’t the case. We sold out the event a month ahead of time and had a tremendous turnout (288 golfers)! Even brand-new-to-the-job Assistant Secretary of State Gentry Smith was able to join us. And to say it was a beautiful day would be an understatement - a gorgeous, crisp fall day, you couldn’t ask for better golfing weather! We kept the entire event outside, including lunch served out on the course, and the post-golf reception was held on the large terrace behind the hotel, everyone seemed to enjoy mixing it up and doing things a little differently this year!

We were also surprised by the overwhelming generosity of our sponsors. We really didnt know what to expect as it has been a tough road since March 2020, for everyone, but especially many of our sponsors. But they jumped in and helped us out like never before! We had a record number of sponsors: forty eight sponsors of $500+up (shout out to Chevron, Adobe, Acuity Intl, Cherokee, GDIT, SOC and Xator who each donated $10K or more); and forty $150 Hole Sponsors. Our sponsors donated more money total than the 2019 event and the event netted us $170,000. Incredible! The money raised from this event will be used to support our mission of providing timely grants to those in the world-wide DS 'family' during times of need, as well as a number of scholarships (visit our GRANTS page for a full list of who we help).

Thanks to all our sponsors and friends for making this year's golf outing a smashing success! Be sure to check out our Photo page (as well as at the bottom of this page) from the event, and the Golf Program. This event sold out a few weeks after we opened registration. So if you plan on joining us in 2022, be sure to sign up soon!
