About the Tournament
A Day on the Course. A Year of Impact.
Tee Up for UpLift is more than a golf tournament. It is a morning of competition, conversation, and community among people who believe that investing in Denver's youth is one of the most important things a business can do.
Every foursome on the course is helping fund the Teacher/Mentors who show up in schools across Denver and Westminster every single day. Every sponsorship dollar goes directly to the long-term relationships that change what students believe is possible for their lives.
This is the event where business gets done and lives get changed. Both happen on the same course, on the same day.

Why Golfers Come Back
A Course Worth Playing
Tee Up for UpLift is held at Cherry Creek Country Club, one of the most respected courses in the metro. Past participants call it one of the best tournament setups in Denver.
A Room Full of the Right People
The business leaders, community partners, and UpLift supporters who fill this tournament are the same people at the table at Breakfast of Champions. The conversations that start on the course often turn into partnerships that last for years.
A Day That Actually Matters
At the end of the round, you will know that your entry fee and your sponsorship went somewhere real, to a Teacher/Mentor who showed up in a classroom this morning because people like you made it possible.
