The 2025 Swing for Change Golf Outing in Georgia at the Polo Golf and Country Club on June 23, 2025 - 6300 Polo Club Drive, Cumming, Georgia, brought together golfers, sponsors, and supporters for a day of camaraderie, competition, and giving back. With a beautiful course as the backdrop, players teed off in high spirits, enjoying friendly competition while championing a cause close to the heart – providing education and opportunities for children and youth in Africa.
From the morning registration to the final putt, the day was filled with laughter, high-fives, and shared purpose. Golfers enjoyed a well-organized tournament complete with on-course refreshments, skill challenges, and opportunities to connect with fellow supporters. Sponsor banners proudly displayed throughout the venue highlighted the generous businesses and individuals whose contributions made the event possible.
“Giving back to Sierra Leone isn’t just about charity — it’s about connection, legacy, and honoring my grandfather. This community center is more than a building; it’s a foundation for opportunity, growth, and a brighter future for generations to come. I’m honored to be part of something alongside my mother that empowers and uplifts where it matters most.”

“I told ‘em, if I hit one more bad shot, I’m gonna build two community centers just to make up for it! But seriously — The Swing 4 Change family showed me so much love, and giving towards Mohamed's and Develop Africa's mission is the real win. Let’s keep building, laughing, and lifting each other up.
