The much-awaited 4th JVOFI Golf-for-a-Cause Tournament is set on October 25, 2008 at the Baguio Country Club fairways.

Since 2005, the Jaime V. Ongpin Foundation, Inc. has undertaken a golf tournament to raise funds for development projects in Baguio and surrounding areas. Last year, the 2nd JVOFI Golf for a Cause generated a total of P602,500 and was participated by exactly 100 golfers.

From these funds, an additional 120 women in Baguio City and La Trinidad were assisted in their livelihood activities. These women are engaged in vending, handicraft, and trading which contribute at least P500/month to their husbands' unstable incomes and help support a family of five. Top of the list in the benefits to these households is being able to afford sending their children to school.

Started as one of the major activities undertaken by JVOFI in 2005 as a kick-off event to its 25th founding anniversary of JVOFI in social development, the Foundation was able to attract dozens of sponsors and players. The annual golf tournament has garnered so much interest that golfers are looking forward to the next tournament in October this year. The Annual tournament is reputed to be offering affordable tickets, attractive prizes, and fun-filled awards.
