Be The Change MN is proud to celebrate its 5th Anniversary!
For five years, Be The Change MN has been the bridge connecting underserved youth and families to the resources, experiences, and support systems they need to thrive. We believe that powerful change starts with purposeful relationships and fostering a network of engaged community members.
This is where you come in. We bring together corporate leaders, residents, business owners, and passionate individuals to create a force for good. We believe that by forging meaningful connections, positive change becomes inevitable.
Join us in celebrating this milestone – our 5th Year Anniversary! We create unique experiences that raise awareness for organizations driving positive and lasting change in our community.
What Sets This
Tournament Apart?
Our golf tournament stands out as one of the country’s most diverse and impactful events. Here’s why:
Participants sign up as a onesome, twosome , or threesome, and we add a community leader to complete each group. This ensures the formation of new, meaningful relationships. While golf is a part of the event, it only makes up about 5% of the day. The remaining 95% is dedicated to spreading awareness, fostering connections, and building relationships.
We are dedicated to raising funds for smaller nonprofits that work with underserved youth. These organizations receive essential support and connections to corporations, helping them thrive and expand their reach.
Our event brings together people from all walks of life, fostering an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are valued. This diversity drives meaningful conversations and ongoing change.
By participating in our tournament, you contribute to creating lasting, positive change in the community. The relationships formed and the funds raised have a direct impact on the lives of underserved youth, bridging the gap between community and corporations to empower a brighter future.

Beyond a handshake and a title, Be The Change MN seeks true community champions.
At Be The Change MN, we deeply value the role of community leaders in building relationships and fostering connections. Each year, we select 36 leaders from diverse backgrounds dedicated to positive
change. We invite these leaders to join as the fourth golfer in threesomes with participants they may not know. This unique setup allows leaders to share their inspiring stories and fantastic work directly with
others. Spending five hours together on the golf course creates a unique space for connection, fostering
lasting relationships.
By integrating community leaders, our tournament transcends a game, becoming a bridge for a more connected community. This strategy shines a light on our leaders’ achievements, creating a strong network
of partnerships and mutual support for tournament participants.
