This event is traditionally held at the Dennis Highlands Golf Course, but in 2025 the Friends are excited to host the tournament at the beautiful Kings Way Golf Club in Yarmouth Port, MA.

George DeShaw was one of our early Board members and he founded this tournament more than 30 years ago. Over the years this tournament has grown into our major fundraising event and supports much of our programs. George was dedicated to our mission of helping seniors in the Town of Dennis and his hard work establishing this tournament should always be remembered. That’s why in 2015 we decided to honor George by naming the tournament after him.

The tournament is held in June and golfers from across the area gather for an 8:30 am shotgun start. Everyone enjoys a day on the links followed by lunch, cash awards, prizes and lots of fun! All proceeds support our mission and benefit Dennis seniors in need.

We are looking forward to the 2025 tournament and encourage you to support us by becoming a player or a valued Tournament, Tee, or Gift sponsor. Call us at (508) 385-5376 or email us at dennisfod@hotmail.com.

The 2024 BIG WRAP took place on December 12th at the Congressional Church of South Dennis-Parish Hall, 218 Main Street, South Dennis.

For thirty-eight years, we have gathered our volunteers and members early in December to wrap over 2000 Christmas gifts for seniors who are alone or in need of Holiday cheer. We call this our Christmas Giving program.

On the Saturday morning following The Big Wrap our Board of Directors, and many community volunteers delivered the gift bags filled with goodies to 135 seniors across Dennis. These Christmas bags are traditionally decorated by students at the Dennis Union Church.

We need volunteers to help wrap and deliver all these presents. If you would like to help next year, please call our office at (508) 385-5376 or email us at  dennisfod@hotmail.com.

In 2013, we celebrated the beginning of summer with our first Jazz Luncheon for seniors. When we filled the room to capacity in Howell Hall at the Dennis Senior Center (named after our first president, Oren G. Howell) and were told “this is more fun than I’ve had in years,” we knew this would become a Friends’ annual tradition.

In 2024 The Friends brought this popular event back as a prelude to summer. Kareem Sanjaghi and his Jazz Quartet dazzled the crowd in honor of his grandfather, the late Bob Hayes. A luncheon was served to all our guests, along with a raffle of prizes.

The Friends look forward to hosting JAZZ IN BLOOM again in 2025 on Saturday, May 17 from 12-2pm.
