On Monday, July 28th, the greens of Falcon Ridge Golf Course in Lenexa were filled with local change-makers, driving to make a difference on, and off, the course. The 5th Annual Scramble for Dignity, hosted by our incredible partners at Moonshot Solutions, brought together generous sponsors, spirited golfers, and passionate advocates to raise more than $50,000 in support of Giving the Basics.

This wasn’t just a tournament—it was an act of community service in motion that will provide basic hygiene essentials like soap, deodorant and shampoo to thousands of students, families, individuals and seniors in Kansas City.

Corporate Giving in Action: Making Dignity Possible

Events like the Scramble for Dignity showcase how corporate donations go far beyond a budget line—they become a driving force behind the hands-on impact nonprofits like Giving the Basics make every day. Support from local businesses and corporate partners directly fund essential hygiene products that restore dignity, boost confidence, and bring hope to families across Kansas City. When companies invest in their communities, the ripple effect is powerful—improving school attendance, supporting mental and physical health, and helping families take meaningful steps toward financial stability.

Corporate giving also comes with business benefits: increased employee engagement, stronger brand reputation, and deeper community ties. Supporting events like this allows companies to align their values with action—and have a great time doing it.

More Fun on the Fairways

Beyond the spirited competition on the course, the 5th annual Scramble for Dignity delivered a full day of excitement and surprises along the way. Golfers tested their skills in the longest drive contest and the crowd-favorite “Putt for Your Favorite Bottle” challenge, while raffle prizes added an extra layer of fun.

The Kansas City Mavericks street team were also in attendance—handing out giveaways, hyping up participants, and taking fan photos throughout the course.
