AUSTIN. (Nov 09, 2026) – The Sundt Foundation raised $85,000 for Hand to Hold, a national nonprofit supporting neonatal intensive care unit families, through its Central Texas Charity Golf Tournament. Held Nov. 2 at Omni Barton Creek, the tournament raised the largest amount by a single-course tournament in the foundation’s history.
The event brought together golfers and supporters to advance Hand to Hold’s work providing connection, resources and mental health care to families navigating a NICU stay.
“A NICU stay can be overwhelming and isolating for parents and caregivers, and Hand to Hold helps families navigate that experience with connection and care,” said Emily Dwosh, senior manager of community impact and sustainability and executive director of the Sundt Foundation. “We are grateful to everyone who participated in the tournament and helped make this support possible.”
“For families navigating a NICU stay, having access to mental health support from someone who has lived through it can make a world of difference,” said Katrina Moline, executive director of Hand to Hold. “We are honored to be the recipient of the Sundt Foundation’s golf tournament fundraiser and incredibly grateful to everyone who made this special day possible. Their generosity helps us reach more families with the resources, community and compassionate care they need during one of the most challenging times in their lives.”
Founded in 2010, Hand to Hold supports NICU and bereaved families through bedside programs at partner hospitals throughout Texas, virtual support groups nationwide and free counseling in Texas and Florida. Its programs help families navigate the emotional and mental health challenges that can accompany a NICU experience.
Tournament sponsors included Alterman, Sunstate Equipment, Badger Infrastructure, Opifex-Synergy, West Coast Partitions and DPR Construction.
