Comcast Tees Up Support for Mississippi’s Children, Raising $253,000 for Children’s of Mississippi

On October 27, 2025, more than 400 golfers came together across four premier Mississippi golf courses to support a cause close to many hearts: the health and joy of Mississippi’s children. The 32nd Annual Friends of Children’s Hospital Golf Tournament, presented by Comcast, raised a record-breaking $253,000 for Children’s of Mississippi, reinforcing the power of community partnerships.

As the presenting and returning Title Sponsor, Comcast played a leading role in this year’s success. The company’s commitment to community connection and expanding access to digital resources is deeply aligned with the mission of Friends of Children’s Hospital, reinforcing Comcast’s dedication to supporting organizations that uplift and strengthen local families.

Since its inception in 1993, this tournament has been a cornerstone fundraiser for the Child Life Services program at Children’s of Mississippi, helping pediatric patients navigate the challenges of hospitalization through therapeutic play, education, and emotional support. With over $3.65 million raised to date, the event continues to transform hospital stays into more hopeful experiences for young patients.

“Helping connect patients with fun, engaging opportunities during their healing journey aligns with our mission to give back to the communities we serve,” said Pamela Pickett, Vice President of Government & Regulatory Affairs at Comcast. “Whether through technology, entertainment, or connectivity, we’re proud to support initiatives that bring comfort and connection to families when they need it most.”

The tournament spanned four courses—Annandale Golf Club, Canebrake Country Club, Country Club of Jackson, and Reunion Golf & Country Club, creating a statewide celebration of generosity and goodwill. Comcast’s continued sponsorship highlights its dedication to uplifting Mississippi’s youngest patients and their families.

“We’re deeply grateful to Comcast for once again standing beside us in support of Mississippi’s children,” said Caitlin Foreman, Executive Director of Friends of Children’s Hospital. “This tournament is about more than golf. It’s about bringing our community together to uplift the children and families in the hospital.”
