19th Annual Never Forget Sandy G Golf Tournament
Join us for the 19th Annual Never Forget Sandy G. Golf Tournament on Sunday, August 2, 2026, a beloved community tradition honoring the life and legacy of Sandy Mendonca while supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault on Kauaʻi. Hosted in partnership with the Mendonca ʻohana and benefiting YWCA Kauaʻi, this special event brings together friends, families, businesses, and community members for a day of remembrance, compassion, and impact. More than a golf tournament, it is an opportunity to celebrate the lives and legacies of loved ones, raise critical funds for survivor services, and help ensure that hope, healing, advocacy, and support remain available to those who need them most. Participants can support the event by registering a team, becoming a sponsor, donating, or contributing to the silent auction.

The parade will be on Rice St from 10:00-11:00 AM starting at Vidinha Stadium and ending at the Historic County Lawn.
