About – Driving for change

Our Mission

Together We Drive Change

Driving For Change exists to create powerful community-driven events that raise awareness and critical funds to end child sex trafficking and support survivors. Our signature charity golf tournament brings together golf enthusiasts, businesses, and nonprofits to champion prevention education, emergency rescue services, and long-term healing programs for vulnerable children.

Since our founding in 2022, we’ve built a dedicated community of supporters who transform golf and other sports events into powerful platforms for change. Together, we’re creating a future where every child is safe, valued, and free to thrive.

Our Story

Founded in 2022 by community advocates Pauline & Eric Rodriguez, Driving For Change began with a vision to harness the power of golf for social good. What started as a passionate idea has grown into an annual charity golf tournament with increasing impact each year.

As we enter our third year in 2025, we’re proud of our growth and the tangible difference we’ve made in protecting vulnerable children. While our annual golf tournament remains our signature event, we’re expanding our portfolio to reach even more supporters and amplify our impact in the coming years.
