The Sowing Seeds of Hope Golf Outing is more than a day on the green, it’s a powerful tribute and a growing tradition that helps transform lives.
This cherished event began as the Barb Schultz/Jeanette Hansen Memorial Golf Outing, which raised over $130,000 in 16 years for women battling breast cancer. Barb was the sister-in-law of Mustard Seed Shelter’s immediate past board president, Jim Jaime, and the Jaime family graciously gifted the outing to Mustard Seed. We are honored to carry forward the legacy of love, support, and hope that Barb and Jeanette inspired.
Since becoming part of the Mustard Seed family, the event has raised nearly $90,000 in just five years. We dedicate the outing in memory of Jillian Paetz Brooks, a beloved member of our community who passed away in 2021.
Stay tuned for details for our 2026 event. See contact info at the bottom of this page if you’d like to join the planning team.
