On July 31, golfers, sponsors, volunteers and friends of SOUND came together at The Golf Club at Newcastle for SOUND’s annual Swing for Hope Golf Classic.
This year, 132 golfers across 33 foursomes took to the course in support of SOUND and our work to expand access to behavioral health care throughout our community — making this year’s event our largest yet.
The growth extended well beyond the course. We were thrilled to welcome 18 new donors and six new sponsors to the Swing for Hope community this year, alongside longtime supporters and members of SOUND’s Corporate Community Partner Program.
Throughout the day, participants had plenty of opportunities to connect, compete, and support SOUND, from friendly competitions on the course to our raffle prizes.
Most importantly, the generosity of everyone who participated helped make this year’s Swing for Hope a tremendous success. Together, golfers, sponsors and supporters helped SOUND exceed our fundraising goal for the event, with proceeds supporting SOUND’s work to provide comprehensive, accessible behavioral health services across our community.
Events like Swing for Hope are about more than a day of golf. They bring together the people and organizations who believe in SOUND’s mission and want to help strengthen behavioral health care in our region.
Thank you to every golfer, sponsor, donor, volunteer and friend of SOUND who joined us this year. We’re grateful for your support — and for making the 2026 Swing for Hope one to remember.

At SOUND Behavioral Health, supporting individuals and families on their path to recovery often means addressing needs that extend beyond behavioral health treatment. For clients facing food insecurity, housing instability, or other difficult circumstances, access to basic necessities can provide critical support during vulnerable moments. Thanks to the generosity of employees at KPFF Consulting Engineers, SOUND's Northgate clinic is better equipped to meet those needs.

This month, I find myself reflecting on the power of partnership. Across our region, we have witnessed what is possible when communities come together around a shared vision. Seattle's successful role as a FIFA World Cup host city has showcased our region on a global stage and demonstrated the extraordinary impact of collaboration among businesses, community organizations, public agencies, volunteers, and civic leaders. We appreciated the opportunity, in coordination with King County, for SOUND’s Crisis Services team to contribute to the Behavioral Health Emergency Planning for the FIFA World Cup. Beyond the excitement of the tournament itself, the event has highlighted how collective effort can generate lasting economic opportunity, community pride, and positive outcomes that benefit us all.
