Honoring Juneteenth with Purpose: Driving Change and Supporting Mentorship

Jonathan Gimarino • May 20, 2025

Juneteenth is a meaningful day of reflection, remembrance, and a renewed commitment to dignity, opportunity, and unity for all. Officially recognized as a federal holiday in the United States, Juneteenth highlights the significance of progress while underscoring the ongoing journey toward greater equity and inclusion. It is a time to honor the past and look toward building a more connected and inclusive future.


At The Lantern Network, we honor this day by focusing on what we can build together—equipping future leaders with the tools, resources, and connections they need to thrive. This year, we invite you to celebrate Juneteenth through action and impact by joining us at our Annual Juneteenth Golf Tournament on June 9, 2025, in Brentwood, TN.


Why Golf? Golf is a unique sport that blends personal discipline, social connection, and the spirit of giving. Known for its strong philanthropic tradition, golf raises more for charity than all other major sports combined, supporting thousands of causes globally each year. From local initiatives to national nonprofits, the sport has proven to be a powerful vehicle for change and community engagement.


What makes golf so effective in charitable efforts is its ability to bring together people of all backgrounds in a shared environment of camaraderie and purpose. Whether you're playing a round or walking the course, the conversations and connections made during a tournament often spark long-term partnerships and real impact.
