Mark your calendars! You won’t want to miss these fun opportunities to help our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
June 22,2026
Think you’ve got what it takes to play 100 holes of golf in a single day? Let’s find out!
100 Holes for the Homeless is no ordinary golf outing—it’s a powerful way to make a difference for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. This unique event supports Wheeler Mission, and instead of a traditional entry fee, participants raise funds to take part.
Our goal this year is bold—we’re aiming to raise $85,000. That amount could help provide life-changing care through our many programs, all of which are offered free of charge to those we serve. Your support through this event helps make that possible.
You can register solo or team up with a partner to take on the challenge together. Not a golfer? No problem—volunteers are essential to making this event a success! From check-in to course support, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
Ready to swing into action? Click below and join us!
We are still not over it. 🏆💛
The results are in and we have to shout out our TOP 3 FUNDRAISERS from 100 Holes for the Homeless 2026 — three men who went absolutely above and beyond for Wheeler Mission and the people they serve:
Together these three raised over $16,000. Sixteen thousand dollars going directly toward meals, shelter, and life-changing programs for our Indianapolis neighbors. That is not a small thing — that is LIFE CHANGE.
And to every single golfer who fundraised this year — thank you. Every dollar, every ask, every share mattered more than you know. You showed up for your community in the best possible way. 🙌
