FRANKLIN, Tenn. — TN Voices, a prominent mental health advocacy group, is inviting golf enthusiasts and supporters to participate in its 4th Annual Charity Golf Tournament. This event will be held at the Old Natchez Country Club in Franklin, Tennessee, on May 13, 2024. Aimed at raising funds to provide free mental health services to Tennesseans, the tournament also seeks to heighten awareness about the crucial importance of mental health care.
Participants in the tournament will enjoy a full day of activities starting at 11 a.m., which include playing 18 holes on a championship golf course, hitting practice shots with complimentary range balls, and savoring a catered lunch and dinner.

TN Voices has established itself as a key resource in Tennessee and nationwide, providing support, referrals, and advocacy for families and the systems that serve them. Since its inception, the organization has impacted over 50,000 parents, caregivers, family members, and professionals. Through events like the charity golf tournament, TN Voices continues to lead efforts in transforming mental health care, striving to meet the growing need for accessible and effective mental health services.
With the ongoing challenges in mental health care accessibility, the importance of such fundraising events is more significant than ever. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five Americans experiences mental illness each year, but many do not receive the necessary care due to cost, stigma, or lack of availability. Events like TN Voices’ Charity Golf Tournament not only raise crucial funds but also play a vital role in destigmatizing mental health issues and fostering community solidarity.
As mental health awareness continues to grow, community-driven events such as this reflect a broader national movement towards better mental health care access and the importance of community support in facilitating mental wellness.
