These "do-over" shots allow players to turn a missed opportunity into a winning one while contributing directly to Ummeed’s initiatives which have impacted over 430,000 children and families to date.
Ummeed Child Development Centre (Ummeed) has long pioneered the association of giving and sports.
In January each year, Ummeed hosts its flagship 55Km Walk for Ummeed, a walk along the beaches of Goa to raise awareness for children with developmental disabilities. Greens of Hope, in its debut season, offers yet another avenue of games and giving for the 23-year-old NGO.
The tournament is supported by Lead Partners Val Organics and ValueQuest Investment Advisors.
Apart from the game, the golfers are also invited to enjoy a thoughtfully curated experience that includes refreshments on the course, lunch for players, and an inspiring Art Exhibition featuring work by young neurodivergent artists, followed by a Gala Dinner and prize distribution.
