Our Cause

 

Each year, more people are killed from dirty water than all forms of violence. Globally, 785 million people lack even a basic drinking-water service, including 144 million people who are dependent on surface water. Billions of people are dependent upon a contaminated drinking water source.

Please join us in bringing health and hope to more communities this year!

About Us

 

A Lasting Legacy…

The annual golf tournament takes place in honor of Gary Lipman, faithful Christ follower, loving husband, father and friend. While he had a passion for golf, he had a bigger passion for helping others.

After his sudden passing in 2008, a group of Sent Church men decided to hold a golf tournament in his honor. The goal was to raise half the funds for one well. Instead, enough was raised to build two wells!

What’s taken place since has gone beyond what anyone imagined!

See Aaron’s blog, “Golf for Water: Get the “T” from the Texas Tee,” on Worldhope.org

Gary Lipman’s son, Aaron, and his family. Aaron serves as GLI Chairman and continues the good work his father began.
