A swing for hope, a day for a good cause
Yesterday, 21 September 2026, we gathered at Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club in Santa Rosa City, Laguna for the 2nd EPCALM Swing for Hope Invitational Golf Tournament—a day filled with fellowship, camaraderie, and a shared commitment to a meaningful cause.
We were once again reminded of God’s continued favor and sustaining grace upon EPCALM. Despite the uncertainty of the days leading up to the tournament, He cleared the skies and blessed us with beautiful weather for a wonderful day on the fairways.
More than a golf tournament, the event was a celebration of hope and generosity, raising support for the EPCALM Hope Fund, which helps the Foundation provide vital assistance and comprehensive, familycentered support to adults battling leukemia and their families.
To all our golfers, sponsors, partners, guests, volunteers, and friends of EPCALM—thank you for showing up and standing with us.
Special thanks to our Team OMC – OGIE ALCASID, MARTIN NIEVERA, and GARY VALENCIANO. Thank you, also to our other celebrity golfers – DEREK RAMSEY, RICHARD YAP, and CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA.
Every registration, sponsorship, contribution, and gesture of support helps strengthen our mission and brings much-needed hope to leukemia patients and their families.
