More Than a Tournament

Step onto the fairway for the 6th Annual Des Moines Angel Invitational—a day created to honor our angels, support loss families, and bring our community together.

This tournament was originally designed with loss dads in mind: a space where men could show up, breathe, laugh, and remember their baby, whether they want to talk about their loss or simply sit beside someone who understands.

Over the years, this event has grown into something even bigger. It’s now a day for moms and dads, families and friends, coworkers and community members—everyone coming together to celebrate life, love, and the babies we carry in our hearts.

Each year we honor a featured family and share their story—there are moments of laughter, tears, and remembrance—but the rest of the day is exactly what it should be: FUN.

Great golf. Good food. Friendly competition. Meaningful connection. And a whole lot of joy.

Every registration and sponsorship helps fund No Foot Too Small programs that remind grieving families they are not alone.

Come play. Come remember. Come be part of something that truly matters.

What to Expect

TWO Tournaments. One Powerful Mission.

For the first time in Des Moines, we’re hosting two separate Angel Invitational tournaments on the same day — one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

This expansion allows even more loss families, community members, and business leaders to take part in a day that blends remembrance, connection, and fun.

Each tournament has a limited number of team spots and will fill quickly.

Choose the time that works best for your team and register early to secure your place on the course.
