Pukka supported Children’s Mentoring Connection of Hancock County’s 43rd annual golf fundraiser by donating headwear for children participating in the event. The hats helped commemorate the day while enhancing the experience for attendees and supporting the fundraiser’s efforts to raise awareness and funding for local mentoring programs.
Children’s Mentoring Connection of Hancock County (CMC) is a youth-focused nonprofit organization that has served local children and families since 1974. Through professionally monitored mentoring programs, CMC pairs children—primarily from single-parent households or those living with extended caregivers—with screened adult volunteers to support personal growth, life-skills development and self-confidence. Pukka partnered with the organization through its donation, helping support the fundraiser and its mission.
The fundraiser took place on May 20, 2026, marking the 43rd annual fundraising event hosted by Children’s Mentoring Connection of Hancock County.
Funds raised through the annual golf fundraiser help Children’s Mentoring Connection continue providing structured mentoring opportunities that positively impact local youth. By supporting the event through its headwear donation, Pukka helped recognize participating children while contributing to a longstanding community initiative. “We’re honored to support an organization that makes such a lasting difference in our community,” said Jessica Burkin, vice president and general manager of Pukka. “The work Children’s Mentoring Connection does every day aligns with the values of connection, support and community that are important to Pukka.”
