About Sand Save for Mental Health and Veteran Wellness
Our Mission
At Sand Save for Mental Health and Veteran Wellness, we harness the healing power of golf therapy to support veterans and individuals navigating mental health challenges. By fostering a mental health community built on compassion and connection to the game, we create safe spaces for recovery, resilience, and renewed purpose. Our mission is to break stigma, cultivate belonging, and champion veteran wellness—one swing, one story, one life at a time.
Sand Save Origin Story
Sand Save began in my own struggle with mental illness after my time in the Canadian Forces. Golf became the one place I could simply show up — to breathe, to move, to not be alone. The game taught me resilience, patience, and how to climb out of life’s bunkers.
After losing my step son to suicide, I knew I had to turn grief into purpose. Sand Save is how I honor him — a community for anyone carrying heavy things, veteran or civilian, golfer or not. Here, you’re met with compassion, connection, and a place to belong. No one should have to face the hard days alone.
If you want it even shorter or more lyrical, I can refine it again.
💛 Cross‑Border Community & Giving
Healing has no borders, and neither does our compassion. Sand Save welcomes people from Canada and the United States, because mental health isn’t defined by a line on a map. Donations and purchases stay in each country, supporting local mental health charities while connecting both sides in a shared movement of care. No matter where you’re from or what you’re carrying, you’re welcome here. Together, we’re building a community rooted in belonging, resilience, and the belief that no one should struggle alone.
