Our annual charity golf outing is the cornerstone of the Clarke Cares Foudation’s fundraising.
Swing for Nets transforms a day on the course into life-saving impact for families across Nigeria. Every dollar raised purchases insecticide-treated bed nets that are distributed by The Carter Center to protect vulnerable populations from mosquito-borne diseases like lymphatic filariasis and malaria.

The mission of the Clarke Cares Foundation is to save lives and reduce suffering from vector-borne illnesses in Nigerian communities with the greatest need.
Through our partnership with The Carter Center and our Net for Net program, we deliver critical resources directly to these vulnerable populations. This work is made possible through our annual Swing for Nets golf outing, which brings together supporters to raise funds and awareness for this life-saving mission.
Clarke Cares Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit started by Clarke in 2008 to help further its mission of making communities around the world more livable, safe, and comfortable.
The work of the Foundation is focused on saving lives and reducing suffering from mosquito-borne diseases. This is done primarily through raising funds to purchase and ship bed nets to families in Nigeria, where mosquito-vectored malaria rates are incredibly high

Employee Volunteer Hours Dedicated to our Mission
The Clarke Cares Foundation reduces suffering and mortality from vector-borne diseases by supporting and raising awareness for our Net for Net Program.
Through this program, the Clarke Cares Foundation purchases insecticide-treated bed nets that are then donated to and distributed by the Carter Center to families across Nigeria, reducing the spread of mosquito-borne diseases like lymphatic filariasis and malaria.
Clarke coworkers are the Foundation’s backbone—dedicating over 3K employee volunteer hours to our mission by volunteering their time and expertise to manage and execute our philanthropic work.
Clarke amplifies this commitment by serving as one of the Foundation’s largest donors, matching contributions to maximize impact.
