We Need Partners!
We Need Partners!
Why Partner with us?
Fairways & Fireflies isn’t just a golf tournament — it’s a celebration of community, compassion, and coming together for something greater than ourselves.
This event was born out of a deep desire to make a difference, not just on the course, but in the lives of children and families facing unimaginable challenges. Whether it’s rescuing survivors of human trafficking (here in Middle Tennessee) or supporting a child’s fight for life at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, every dollar we raise is rooted in hope and healing.
When you partner with us, you’re doing more than sponsoring a hole or putting your name on a banner — you’re standing beside real families, real survivors, and real stories. You’re helping light the way for those who need it most.
Your partnership brings visibility to your brand, yes — but more importantly, it positions your business as a local leader with heart. One that shows up, gives back, and believes in building something beautiful, together.
This is more than a sponsorship. It’s a spark. Let’s light up the night — and change lives — side by side.
We’re proud to partner with these incredible businesses & organizations whose support makes our event possible and changes lives!
