Play Golf. Fund Scholarships. Change Futures.
Marcus Trufant knows the power of having people believe in you.
As a Tacoma native, Washington State University standout, retired Seattle Seahawk, and community leader, Marcus is using his platform to help underserved youth overcome barriers and pursue education beyond high school.
Proceeds support the Trufant Family Scholarship Fund at Believe in Me, helping provide scholarships, mentorship, and student support for young people with talent, resilience, and dreams worth backing.
This is more than a round of golf. It is a scholarship drive.

It was a fun tournament, that was run well, and done for a great cause located at a beautiful course. Looking forward to playing again in next year’s event!

What made it truly special was the mission behind it all. Every swing helped support vulnerable kids in our community through Believe In Me’s incredible programs. Hearing stories of impact reminded us all why we were there—and why it mattered.

One of the best tournaments I’ve ever played in. Very well organized and perfectly executed. I had a blast with our team! And it was all for a great cause!!

Meet Our Corporate Sponsors
Meet Troy Teal,
Long Drive Professional
Prepare yourself to be amazed by the talents of Troy Teal, Long Drive Professional from the Tri-Cities area. He has the ability to hit drives over 430 yards with ease and skill. You will be struck by his precision and ability to tee off from the most precarious of places. Be sure to bring some extra cash to enter the "Hole in One" contest where you can use Troy's drive to get you as close as possible to the hole where you will get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sink your ball with one swing on a Par 5. Last year's prize was an all-expense paid trip to Pebble Beach!
