Pearl River, NY — Get ready to tee off for a cause! The 4th Annual Soldiers for Wildlife “Swinging Against Extinction” Golf Outing & Fundraiser returns on Monday, July 21, 2025, at the scenic Blue Hill Golf Course, located at 285 Blue Hill Road, Pearl River, NY.

Running from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, this signature fundraising event is SFW’s largest in-person gathering in the U.S., bringing together supporters, wildlife advocates, and community members for a day of competitive golf, camaraderie, and conservation awareness.

Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or simply want to show your support, all are welcome—including non-golfers! The event will also offer dinner-only registration options for those who wish to participate in the cause without hitting the greens.

Soldiers for Wildlife is a registered 501c3 non-profit founded in Rockland County, New York, working overseas in Southern Africa. We have spent years on the ground in Africa and our team is an extremely professional and dedicated group of volunteers scattered across the globe who are passionate about wildlife conservation. Our headquarters and base of operations is located just outside of the Kruger National Park, which also happens to be home to the largest numbers of rhinos left on the planet.

“Swinging Against Extinction” provides a unique opportunity to support global wildlife conservation efforts while enjoying a fun and social day in the beautiful Hudson Valley. You can register here
