The Pura Vida Classic is our flagship annual fundraiser — small on purpose, unforgettable by design. Two days at one of the finest private clubs in America, playing great golf with people who care about the work.

Why Ohoopee

Ohoopee Match Club is quiet, walking-centric, and built around the oldest format of the game: match play. It's the kind of place where rounds last long and conversations last longer. That makes it the right place for a Pura Vida — a weekend that is as much about the people as it is about the golf.

How the weekend runs

Teams play four nine-hole matches — best ball, net — with an evening putting contest under the lights and a closing four-flight, alternate shot playoff to determine the victors. Meals are communal, menus are whole-food leaning, and the closing trophy presentation happens right before a glorious lunch prior to departure.
