Robert Tate Foundation Hosts Charity Golf Tournament and Car Show in Wellton

Fans and community members gathered in Wellton for a three-day Robert Tate Foundation weekend that included a Friday night meet-and-greet, a Saturday charity golf tournament and a Sunday classic car show. Former Arizona Cardinals defensive back Robert Tate appeared at the events as organizers aimed to raise funds and connect athletes with local residents.

The Friday meet-and-greet ran 6:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. Feb. 27 at Bluestone Grubhouse & Bar, listed at 11902 William Street in town materials. Early meet-and-greet tickets were sold for $25 and included a meal, with a $35 price at the door; ticket contacts listed were Lou Landers at (907) 538-6942 and LL4anders@yahoo.com, and Ashley Baughn at Bluestone Grubhouse & Bar via ashley96baughn@gmail.com. The Town of Wellton calendar promoted the event under the headline “MEET & GREET ATHLETES @ COYOTE WASH GOLF COURSE.”

Saturday’s centerpiece was billed as “The Robert Tate Charity Golf Tournament,” scheduled 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Feb. 28 at Coyote Wash Golf Course. Event listings gave the course address as 11902 William Street; the town’s golf-course contact appears as (928) 785-4653 and CoyoteWashGolf@Town.Wellton.Az.Us in municipal listings. Organizers also advertised equipment demos and other fan activities tied to the weekend’s fundraising push.

A classic car show was scheduled to begin Sunday at 11:00 a.m. at Coyote Wash Golf Course. Event calendars and local listings consistently listed the car show as occurring on “Sunday” at 11 a.m. but did not supply an explicit calendar date; with the weekend events listed as Feb. 27 and Feb. 28, the following Sunday would be March 1, 2026. For clarification on the exact Sunday date and on venue locations, the town’s main phone is listed at (928) 785-3348 and the municipal mailing address is 28634 Oakland Avenue - P.O. Box 67, Wellton, Arizona 85356.

Promotional material described the weekend as more than appearances, emphasizing mentorship and interaction. “This is a social gathering where you can formally interact with NFL Players, MLB Player, Tennis pro and an Actor, allowing for conversation, photos, autographs, and mentorship opportunities,” read a local event notice, which also said organizers would hold door prizes and drawings during the weekend. The notice added: “Your support will make a huge difference to the Wellton community and the Robert Tate Foundation.”
