  • Putt for Prevention

    June 6, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm

    Upstream Prevention is excited to host our first golf outing – but in miniature form! We’re inviting the community to join us June 6th at Otte’s Golf & Family Fun Center to Putt for Prevention! This mini-golf, 18-hole tournament will provide fun and competition for teams at all levels. Funds raised at this outing will help Upstream move closer to finishing our fundraising challenge from the Johnson County Community Foundation! We're nearing the finish line of our #WelcomeHome Campaign to fund the renovations at our new space, but we’re not quite there yet – and we need your help! 

    Register your team of four adults ($100) or a family of two adults and up to three kids ($75) for a friendly competition of mini-golf. Teams will be entered to win prizes based on their team average after 18 holes - with some surprise add ons and challenges available throughout the course!

    Know someone who might be interested in sponsoring a hole or challenge? They can learn more and pledge a sponsorship here, or contact Kathleen ASAP to get all benefits!

    When you get to the payment screen, there's an option to pay a processing fee - please change the dropdown to "other" and customize it to $0 to ensure you're only paying the $100 for a team.
