We Play Sports For Life (WPSFL) is proud to announce the return of its highly anticipated 9th Annual Charity Golf Tournament, set to take place at Deer Creek Golf Club on Friday, September 19th with a 10 AM shotgun start. This yearly event has become a staple in the community, bringing together supporters, sponsors, and sports enthusiasts for a day of fun, friendly competition, and fundraising.
We Play Sports For Life was founded in 2016 by Bob Acton—a man full of energy, vision, and a million ideas.
Even after being diagnosed with ALS, Bob remained a force of creativity and purpose, never losing his drive to make a lasting impact. It was during this time, in the face of adversity, that WePlay Sports For Life was born—a reflection of his unwavering spiritand commitment to making a difference.
Our annual golf tournament holds deep meaning for us — it was the very first We Play Sports For Life initiative. Just three weeks before his passing, Bob proudly attended that inaugural event.
Today, We Play Sports For Life is led by Bob’s son, Reid Acton, who shares his father’s vision of ensuring equitable access to sport for all children. Under Reid’s leadership, WPSFL continues to grow, carrying forward a legacy built on love, determination, and the belief that equal access, has a lasting impact.

Through the WPSFL scholarship program, I was given the opportunity tonot only participate in sports but also to pursue and achieve my childhood dreams of playing Division 1 lacrosse and eventually competing at the professional level.
As a proud recipient of the WPSFL scholarship, I can confidently say that the generous donations made by this organization have profoundly impacted my life and my family, ensuring that sports would always be apart of my life.
Reflecting on my athletic journey over the years, there are many individuals and organizations that deserve recognition and gratitude for where I am today. At the top of that list is the WPSFL Scholarship and its invaluable contributions to me and future generations of athletes in the Beaches community.
