PrairieCare Fund Golf Tournament

The statistics are staggering:

• Suicide remains the second leading cause of death among youth ages 10 to 25.
• 1 in 5 adolescents will experience a severe episode of mental illness.
• 42 percent of teens report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.
• 50 percent of all lifetime mental illnesses begin by age 14.

At PrairieCare Fund, we believe every young person deserves access to mental health resources, support and hope. Since 2016, we’ve awarded $1.5 million in grants to Minnesota schools and nonprofits—impacting more than 100,000 students and staff. Yet, the need continues to grow. In 2024 alone, over $5.7 million in requests for youth mental health programs went unfunded.

You can help bridge the gap.

Join us for the 12th Annual PrairieCare Fund Golf Tournament and be part of the solution. Your participation and support will help fund critical initiatives such as:

• Mental health education for students and staff.
• Suicide prevention programs.
• Embedding mental health curriculum into classrooms.
• Creating calm spaces in schools.

And much more.

Whether you’re a golfer, sponsor or donor, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we can change the course of youth mental health in Minnesota—one swing at a time.
