Hope Hospice Golf Event 2024

HOPE HOSPICE GOLF EVENT RETURNS WITH NEW FEATURES
Fundraiser supports dementia education, grief support, and other hospice programs
 
 
Hope Hospice has opened registration for the 2024 Hope 100 Golf Marathon, this year with two ways to play. The dual event will take place at Castlewood Country Club in Pleasanton on Monday, October 21, 2024. 
 
Now in its tenth year, the Hope 100 offers dawn-to-dusk private play on Castlewood’s Valley Course, where up to 36 participants take on a challenge of playing 100 holes (about five-and-a-half rounds) with free reign of the green. Players raise support for hospice care in the Tri-Valley by asking friends and family to honor their commitment with a donation in their name to Hope Hospice. Funds are used to support Hope’s patient care and grief support center.
 
It takes dedication and a lot of energy to complete the marathon. Although the event sees many returning players each year who look forward to the challenge, event organizers have received inquiries about the possibility of a milder commitment. So, new for 2024, the Hope 100 will offer half-day experience for individuals who don’t want to tackle 100 holes. The Steve Thompson Skills Challenge runs concurrent to the marathon and as a series of 10 trials including putts, chips, and drives. 
 
Danville residents and Hope Hospice patrons Jim and Kathleen Berriatua founded the event and serve as co-chairpersons each year. “It’s been heartwarming to witness the renewed support of the Hope 100 for a full decade,” Jim says. “Though the event is designed to be fun and lighthearted, it serves an important purpose in supporting hospice care here in the East Bay. We’re excited to offer the Skills Challenge as a new way for more people to get involved.”
 
How It Works
 
Option 1: Play the traditional 100 holes

• Golfers may register as an individual and attempt the 100 holes on their own; or, split the challenge among friends to suit their comfort level. 
• The event has a quick pace of play. Most people complete 18 holes every two hours. 
• Registration is a display of the player’s intent to raise a minimum of $2,500 in support toward Hope’s mission of care and service to our community. Green fees, cart rental, three meals, and course beverages are all covered by the registration fee. Participants may pay up front or use our event website to fundraise among their personal networks.

• A new half-day addition to the Hope 100, the skills challenge runs concurrent to the marathon and offers a chance to compete for prizes and bragging rights in a series of 10 trials.
• Individuals may register as a foursome for $2,000 total; or, sign up as a single for $500 and we’ll pair them up.
• Participants may pay up front or use our event website to fundraise among their personal networks.
