The Big Wrap (Christmas Giving Program)
December 2026 TBD
THE 2025 BIG WRAP took place on Thursday, December 11th at 1 pm at the Congressional Church of South Dennis-Parish Hall, 218 Main Street, South Dennis.
For thirty-seven 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 deliver gift bags filled with goodies to 150 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 wrap, or if you would like to help deliver, please call our office at (508) 385-5376 or email dennisfod@hotmail.com.
The George DeShaw Memorial Golf Tournament
Monday, June 8, 2026
The Friends were excited to host the tournament at the beautiful Kings Way Golf Club in Yarmouth Port, MA.
The 2026 tournament was held on Monday, June 8th. The weather was warm and sunny, and everyone enjoyed 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.
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.
We are looking forward to the 2027 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.
