Golfaroo History


Another beautiful day for a Golfaroo.

What do you get when you get a few guys together who love God and golf? A fabulous fundraiser with a funny name!

The Golfaroo concept came together in 1997 when a few guys from Redeemer decided to host a golf tournament to raise money for various ministries, both inside and outside Redeemer.

Over the last 13 years, the Golfaroo has raised over $255,000.00 for the following missions:

  • Oakdale Youth House in San Francisco, California
  • Spiritual Retreat Center in Varanasi, India
  • Church planting in Nepal
  • Mission Adventures in New Zealand
  • Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City
  • Youth With A Mission - San Diego/Baja
  • Built an orphanage in Ensenada, Mexico
  • Agua Viva Orphanage, Ensenada, Mexico

And the following ministries:

  • Kids Gaianst Hunger
  • CEAP (Community Emergency Assistance Program)
  • Teen Challenge
  • Glorybound
  • Faith Haven Camp
  • Redeemer's Children and Youth Ministries, Men's Ministry, Worship and Outreach Ministries.

Every year, the Golfaroo proves to be a highlight fellowship event with many golfers and almost as many volunteers! With no end in sight, the Golfaroo continues to be a fun way to serve one another and raise money for worth-while ministries, missions, and projects.
