About Our Event

This year marks the 30th annual Will Golf 4 Kids (WG4K) tournament and 16th annual Gala of Hope benefiting Arkansas Children’s Northwest (ACNW). Together, these volunteer-led events have raised more than $22.7 million for children.

The four-person scramble golf tournament will be held Thursday, August 1, and Friday, August 2, at the Dogwood Golf Course & Kingswood Golf Course in Bella Vista. The event features morning and afternoon shotgun starts, legendary goody bags and opportunities to network with other champions for children. The 2024 golf chairs are Mike Sewell with Market Performance Group, Tony Murphy with Acosta, and honorary co-chairs Silvia Azrai Kawas and Will McDonald with Walmart. WG4K is a Play Yellow Tournament! Play Yellow launched in 2019 and is led by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and Jack and Barbara Nicklaus.

The black-tie gala is scheduled for Friday, August 2, at the Fayetteville Public Library Event Center. This high-stakes evening, hosted by 2024 chairs Tareneh and Dr. Lance Manning, will feature games of chance, a highly curated dining experience, live entertainment, and live and silent auctions.

Every dollar stays local to support the Arkansas Children’s Northwest expansion, part of the largest Arkansas Children’s expansion in its 112-year history. This $318 million investment in construction at Arkansas Children’s Northwest (ACNW) in Springdale and Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) in Little Rock is essential to meet the increasing healthcare needs of the state’s pediatric population.
