Somewhere Between a Birdie and a Mulligan…

Introducing the First Annual HOWLER OPEN, happening Sunday, December 13, 2026, at Tres Volcanes Golf Club.

SAVE THE DATE

And before anybody gets too excited, yes, there will actually be golf.

But this is not just another day of chasing a little white ball around 18 holes while insisting that the next shot is definitely going to be the one that turns things around.

The Howler Open is a Charity Golf Tournament & Community Fiesta benefiting International Animal Rescue Costa Rica and the Nosara Wildlife Rescue Center.

International Animal Rescue (IAR) Costa Rica—formerly known as the Refuge for Wildlife—is a non-profit organization that provides 24-hour emergency rescue, specialized veterinary hospital care, and rehabilitation for injured, orphaned, and displaced native wildlife across the Nicoya Peninsula. The sanctuary, based in Nosara, treats species like sloths, anteaters, and birds, with a primary focus on howler monkeys suffering from habitat loss and electrical line shocks. Through its proactive “Stop the Shocks” campaign, IAR works to insulate local power lines and install canopy bridges while offering a lifelong sanctuary for animals unable to return to the wild. They work closely with the Local Salve Monos Group in the Papagayo Area.

International Stray Dog Day – One Cause That Hits Me Right in the Heart

There are a lot of “National Days” and “International Days” on the calendar these days. Some are fun. Some are a little goofy. But today, International Stray Dog Day, is one that actually means something to me.

If you know me personally, you already know this isn’t just another charity we support. This is personal.
