Remembering our friend, Gregg Berens

Our dear friend, Gregg Berens, had a heart full of passion for helping others and playing golf. He served as the director for our only fundraising event, the ‘I Golf Because I CARE Tournament’, for several years. He deeply cared about our mission and saw this event as an opportunity to raise funds for those less fortunate who were served by The CARE Center. Every year, he dedicated himself to making the tournament more successful than the previous one.

We lost Gregg on February 28, 2024, and his absence is deeply felt in our community. In his honor, we have renamed our annual fundraiser the “Gregg Berens Memorial, I Golf Because I CARE Tournament”. We invite you to join us in continuing Gregg’s legacy by making this year’s tournament a great success. Our goal is to raise over $100,000 and have 32 teams participate. Let’s come together to honor our dear friend and support a great cause, The CARE Center.
