Teeing Up for Purpose: The 40th VMRC Golf Benefit
A Milestone Year of Meaningful Impact
This year marks the 40th VMRC Golf Benefit, held in honor of Diane Weaver. For four decades, this special event has brought together individuals, families, and businesses from Harrisonburg, Rockingham County, and beyond to support and strengthen memory care at VMRC.
What began as a community gathering has grown into a lasting tradition rooted in generosity and shared purpose. Each year, participants come together not only to enjoy a day on the course, but to invest in care, resources, and innovation for those living with memory loss.
Responding to a Growing Need
As dementia and memory-related illnesses continue to affect more individuals and families, the need for trusted support and specialized care continues to grow. Families are often searching for guidance, education, and meaningful ways to stay connected through every stage of the journey.
At VMRC, memory care reflects a deep commitment to walking alongside residents and their loved ones with understanding and expertise. The Golf Benefit plays an important role in strengthening that care through ongoing support and advancement.
A Legacy that Enriches Care
Since the 1980s, the VMRC Golf Benefit has helped raise more than $2 million for the Memory Care Endowment. These funds enrich the lives of residents, families, and staff by supporting education, specialized training, and innovative technologies that enhance daily life for those living with memory loss.
Thanks to this generosity, VMRC has been able to introduce meaningful tools like Tovertafels, which create moments of engagement, connection, and joy for residents. Investments like these continue to shape a care environment that is thoughtful, engaging, and responsive to individual needs.
A Community That Shows Up
This event is made possible through the dedication of generous partners and sponsors. Forefront will serve as the 2026 Presenting Sponsor, and long-standing supporters like Everence continue to play an important role in the event’s success.
The tournament reflects the strength of a community that shows up for one another. It is a day where relationships are strengthened, stories are shared, and a collective commitment to quality care is put into action.
