Mini golf event raises funds for charity

The 2026 Mini Masters gave Central Florida supporters a fun afternoon of friendly competition thanks to our friends at Just Call Moe — and showed what strong community support for young adults can accomplish, raising more than $10,000 for The Faine House.

Residents of The Faine House send their sincere gratitude to our incredible community partners who help create better outcomes as they work toward stability and long term independence.

The JustCallMoe Mini-Masters took place on Saturday, April 11, at Congo River Golf and was hosted by local comedian and podcast host Rauce Padgett. The Faine House was selected as the event beneficiary, and every dollar raised, including hole sponsorship support, was directed toward the organization’s residents.

That kind of result matters. At The Faine House, support is measured in what those dollars make possible for young adults who may be leaving foster care, recovering from instability, or trying to build a future without a family safety net. 

Stable housing, practical programming, and steady community support all depend on people showing up in concrete ways – and choosing The Faine House as your event beneficiary is a tangible way to support real change in our community.

For readers who are new to the organization, The Faine House’s mission centers on helping young adults move from crisis toward independence with structure, support, and clear expectations. 

The Mini Masters is a strong example of what happens when community partners, sponsors, and local supporters decide that work matters.

Why Community Support Matters for Young Adults

Young adulthood is demanding even under the best circumstances. For someone without reliable housing or family support, those years feel much heavier.

Our residents express difficulties around trying to hold a job while figuring out transportation, food costs, and finishing school. They are trying to managing stress that never fully turns off. They’re moving into adulthood without having had consistent examples or support earlier in life.

The Faine House exists because these challenges are connected. Housing stability affects everything else. When people don’t know whether their environment is safe or steady, it becomes harder to keep a work schedule, stay focused in class, manage money, or make decisions with confidence.

That is why The Faine House programming is built around more than shelter. Residents receive structure, accountability, and practical guidance that help them build routines and prepare for independent living. Support can include goal setting, budgeting, job readiness, health and wellness habits, and the daily practice of showing up for their own future.

Fundraising helps protect that work. It gives the organization more capacity to keep support consistent. Consistency matters because growth for young adults is usually built through repeated steps, not one time fixes.

Local Partnerships Help Turn Hope Into Action at The Faine House

The Mini Masters also highlights something important about The Faine House’s work. Community care becomes more useful when it is organized into action.

A local event host opens the door. Sponsors step in. Players participate. Supporters spread the word. Donors give. The result is funding that helps strengthen a program already focused on clear outcomes for young adults.

Community partnerships are especially meaningful for an organization like The Faine House because the needs it addresses are ongoing. Young adults do not move from instability to independence overnight. They need time, guidance, and a steady environment where they can keep building.

We thank each and every member of our Central Florida community for helping create and strengthen a support network that does not disappear after one hard week or one unexpected setback. 

Together we are teaching our residents that there are people beyond the walls of the house who want them to succeed.

For volunteers, players, sponsors and spectators, events like these also offer a clear point of connection. No matter the reason for getting involved, each of those participants helped widen the circle of support around young adults who need stability most.
