Golf enthusiasts and philanthropists alike have their eyes on the upcoming 2024 Tryall-CUMI (Committee for the Help of the Mentally Ill) Charity Golf Tournament, where a luxury Mercedes-Benz SUV (GLB 200) worth $13.8 million is one of the top prizes.
The event, scheduled for Sept. 14 at the prestigious Tryall Golf Club in Hanover, aims to raise $4 million to support CUMI’s vital programs for people with mental illness.
With more than 80 golfers expected to compete, the one-day tournament is supported by sponsors including JMMB, Tryall, Stewarts Automotive, GraceKennedy General Insurance, Advantage General, BCMG, Rainforest, Appleton Estate and Doctor’s Cave. JMMB has significantly increased its donations this year, pledging $1 million to the cause.
Committed to community building
“JMMB and the JMMB Joan Duncan Foundation have a long-standing relationship with CUMI that is deeply rooted in our shared history and commitment to community revitalization,” said Kim Mair, CEO of the JMMB Joan Duncan Foundation. “This partnership is about more than just golf, it’s about continuing to support those in need.”

Stewart Automotive Group is once again offering an exciting grand prize of a Mercedes-Benz SUV (GLB 200) to the golfer who can score a hole-in-one. Despite the car being available for four years, no entrant has ever won this coveted prize. If this year’s challenge is unsuccessful, the car will be returned to Stewart, making this special event even more exciting.
Speaking at the event’s launch at the S Hotel Montego Bay, CUMI President Trina Delisser had high hopes for this year’s race. “We are grateful for the continued support of our long-time sponsors and are excited to welcome new sponsors. This race is vital in raising the funds needed to sustain CUMI’s rehabilitation programs,” said Delisser.
Replaces the organization’s annual 5K/10K run-walk
The golf tournament was designed to replace the organization’s annual 5K/10K run/walk, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. “The transition from a run/walk to a golf tournament was a natural progression for Tryall, which is known for its outstanding golf courses. The pandemic made it difficult to continue the run/walk, so we turned to golf, and it has been a successful transition,” Delisser explained.
While the list of participants is still under wraps, Delisser is confident that top golfers from across the island, especially Kingston, will be drawn to the event, eager for the chance to win a Mercedes Benz SUV and enjoy the famous Tryall Golf Course.
The tournament will be played in a two-person team format with the first tee time being at 8 a.m. The tournament entry fee is US$145 or 23,000 Jamaican dollars.
