OUR STORY & MISSION
THE MIKE TICE FOUNDATION
Our 2026 Mike Tice Foundation Celebrity Golf Event
donated $205,000 to our youth programs.
The golf was legendary, but the impact off the course was even bigger. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity at the VIP Welcome Dinner and the Monday Scramble, the 2026 event successfully allowed us to donate $205,000 to our youth programs.
Here is a snapshot of where this year's funds were distributed:
-
$165,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Thurston County and South Puget Sound.
-
$21,000 distributed across Operation Warm, Ryan's Reason, and local scholarships.
-
$19,000 to athletic booster clubs to keep youth sports
thriving.
A LEGACY BEYOND THE GRIDIRON: MEET MIKE TICE
"Our goal is simple: to provide charity, hope, and love to the great organizations shaping our nation’s youth." – Mike Tice
Founded by former NFL Head Coach Mike Tice, the Mike Tice Foundation was built on a simple premise: using the power of sports and celebrity to make a profound impact on the communities we call home. What started as a vision to bring friends, athletes, and local leaders together has grown into one of the premier charity golf events in the Pacific Northwest.
NATIONAL REACH. LOCAL IMPACT.
THE FOUNDATION STORY
What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a nationwide mission. In 2011, Mike Tice gathered family and friends from New York, Minnesota, and Seattle for a small event in Nevada, raising $25,000 for the local Boys & Girls Club. By 2018, that single initiative had raised over $1.6 million, helping to fund a brand new clubhouse for the youth of Western Nevada. Driven by this success, The Mike Tice Foundation was officially formed in 2019 to expand that life-changing impact across the country.
Today, thanks to our dedicated sponsors, volunteers, and celebrity guests, the foundation proudly partners with charitable organizations across four states. In 2026 we donated over $205,000, funding programs that support youth during and after the school year.
