Swing for a Cause: SMILE Mass Hosts First Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Red Tail Golf Club

Sudbury MA – SMILE Mass (Small Miracles in Life Exist) is excited to announce its First Annual Charity Golf Tournament, taking place on Monday, June 2, 2025, at Red Tail Golf Club in Devens, MA. This inaugural event invites golfers, community leaders, and businesses to join in a day of fun, networking, and philanthropy—all in support of SMILE Mass’s mission to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities.

SMILE Mass is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families raising children and adults with disabilities experience joyful, barrier-free lives through education, recreation, and vacation programs. The Metrowest-based charity serves families throughout Massachusetts through programs focused on enhancing the lives of people with severe disabilities and their families.

This one-of-a-kind tournament is set on the stunning greens of Red Tail Golf Club, one of New England’s premier golf destinations. Named after the majestic red-tailed hawks that soar above, Red Tail Golf Club is known for its breathtaking landscapes, championship-caliber course, and commitment to delivering an exceptional experience to golfers of all levels.

Reesa Morabito, SMILE Mass Chief Development Officer and co-organizer of the event is thrilled with the enthusiastic response as planning for the event continues. “There may still be snow on the ground, but golfers are already looking ahead to spring. The excitement around this tournament has been incredible, with corporate sponsors, in-kind donors, and golfers eager to support such a meaningful cause. We’re confident this will be the first of many successful SMILE Mass tournaments, and we can’t wait to bring the community together for a great day on the course.”

A Day on the Course with a Purpose

Participants will enjoy a full day of golf, camaraderie, and competition. We kick off the day with breakfast and welcome, followed by a shotgun start at 9:15 a.m. The event concludes with a luncheon reception, awards ceremony, and an inspiring program showcasing the impact of SMILE Mass.
