Tournament runs NOW until September 8, 2020
Imara International is ready to host our 2020 Charity Golf Tournament with a “virtual” twist! Play with your favorite foursome, at your favorite course and you pick the date. Play locally, compete globally.
Join Us for a Round of Golf!
Golf courses are now open and many of you are playing safe, socially-distanced golf. We are asking golfers to play a round for Imara! Pull together a foursome or sign up your weekly foursome team. Each team member will register on Eventbrite for a $100 entry fee that is 100% tax deductible. Note: registration fee does not include your local course fees.
You will compete “virtually” using the 18Birdies app. It maintains handicap information and tracks your foursome’s score against other tournament teams.
Want to improve your score? Strokes are for sale at registration for $25 each, that will be deducted off your net score, just to keep it all fun!
Check out the official Imara Leaderboard and see what the competition is doing from coast to coast or around the globe.

Not a golfer? Can’t play a round this summer? Help us support Imara moms by donating now! We still have moms and children (two new babies!) on site at Imara House. And although some of our teens and their children have been ordered “home,” we continue to support them with food, medicine and other needs. We need your help.

Highlights of the 2019 Tournament
As play progressed at Rush Creek Golf Club, cheers erupted at the 7th hole. BMW of Minnetonka and PGA Tour Superstore had sponsored hole-in-one contests. Rob Smolund, a member of the Midwest Immunology foursome, had made a hole-in-one! Rob won a BMW M40i two year lease and a $1,000 shopping spree at the PGA Tour Superstore. By the way, his team came in first for the tournament.
Rob did not really need another car so in lieu of the car lease he accepted $10,000. Rob then donated $5,000 of it to Imara International. What a great example for others to follow.
