The Andrea-Mennen Family Foundation

TAFF Events

From charity rides to community galas, TAFF events bring people together to celebrate generosity and make a lasting impact.

Celebrating Community Through Events

The Andrea-Mennen Family Foundation hosts and participates in a variety of events throughout the year — from annual charity bike rides and golf tournaments to award ceremonies, community gatherings, and fundraising galas. Each event is an opportunity to connect, celebrate, and raise vital support for the children and young adults we serve.

Our events reflect the heart of TAFF: a community united by faith, generosity, and a shared commitment to making life better for those who need it most. We invite you to join us at an upcoming event and experience the TAFF family firsthand.
