Case Study
Golf Tournament Honors Soldier & Raises Awareness for Suicide Prevention
Maxwell Tyeryar served six years in the U.S. Army National Guard, including a nine-month tour in Kuwait. But like many veterans, Max masked his internal struggle, and took his own life on January 29, 2022 at just 25 years old. Max’s father launched Max Well for Life to help support those who struggle with their path in life, along with the families and friends who have been impacted by the loss of a loved one through suicide.
Michele Mikk’s two sons were good friends with Max and he spent a lot of time with her family, so it was devastating to learn that he had taken his own life. Her sons approached her with the idea of a golf tournament. She agreed immediately, and the Max Well For Life Charity Golf Tournament was born. Michele isn’t a golfer, but knew she didn’t have to be one to raise money with golf.
Read the full case study to find out how the tournament brought people together in Max’ memory, and how GolfStatus helped establish processes, give the event much-needed infrastructure, and raise thousands of extra dollars.
