Chip In For The Cause! 

The Siuslaw Open is a fundraising event to support Siuslaw Outreach Services. In 2022, Siuslaw Outreach Services provided support to more than 2,500 needy individuals through rent assistance, homeless prevention, and advocacy for victims, self-sufficiency education and more. The Siuslaw Open tournament is one of our major fundraising events of the year to help fund those assistance programs. Last year we raised over $15,000 to help those needy individuals and families.
Last year, Siuslaw Outreach Services assisted over 350 persons who were survivors of domestic violence, and 44 survivors of sexual assault. Another statistic which is often overlooked is that there were 94 children in the homes where this abuse occurred, and these kinds of experiences are extremely traumatizing. SOS provides advocacy, support, information, shelter, and assists with accessing legal services.
Last year SOS also assisted, nearly 3,000 low-income individuals/families experiencing a wide array of emergencies, with emergency vouchers, utility or rent payments. The agency served more than 900 homeless persons with a variety of services. In 2024, Siuslaw Outreach Services distributed over $700,000 in direct aid. All of SOS services are provided free, and with the principle of encouraging self-sufficiency. This is made possible because of supporters like you. We thank you for participating in this event and supporting those in our community who are struggling and need a little extra help.
