The Swirls Around the World Foundation Golf Tournament is a special day of community, generosity, and purpose. Each year, friends, families, sponsors, and supporters come together on the course to honor the life and legacy of Matthew “Swirls” Cirelli while helping raise critical funds for children and young adults battling cancer and their families. What began as a meaningful fundraising event has grown into a cherished tradition that brings people together for golf, giving, and the shared spirit of paying it forward.
More than just a tournament, this event reflects the heart of our mission. From longtime supporters to first-time participants, everyone who joins us helps make possible the programs and acts of kindness that define Swirls Around the World Foundation, including Swirls Packages of Love, Swirls Warrior Days, memorial scholarships, and support for pediatric cancer families. We are so grateful for the incredible community that continues to show up year after year, and we look forward to another unforgettable day on the course.

It all started with a yellow Swirls Strong bracelet on top of Mount Washington…
To our Swirls Family and Friends,
You have left us speechless once again! Our first Swirls Around the World Golf Tournament was beyond what we could ever imagine and more. And it’s all because of you! Our Swirls Family always comes through. For Swirls.
Holding a Golf Tournament has always been a dream of ours, and after years of it just being a topic at our Swirls Meetings, we decided to go for it because we know that no matter the outcome, it would be special-and special it was!
We raised over $20,000 dollars!!!!!!!
Doubling the goal we set! We are so touched by your generosity.
Thank you to our 127 golfers, our volunteers, our friends & family who came out to play, despite the rain in the forecast (which Swirls held off until halfway through!). Even with some rain, our Swirls Family wasn’t phased! You truly came to play.
Congratulations to our first-place team: Team Floramo and a very close second and third-place finish by the Mullet Men and Can’t Find the Hole-Looks like a father-daughter face-off next year!
Thank you to the wonderful staff at Hillview Golf Course for your ongoing support and guidance through the planning process and the entire event.
Thank you to the amazing Ultra Chic Events Team for hosting the luncheon and ensuring everything ran smoothly, from the perfect set-up to the delicious food and drinks- we appreciate all the hard work and dedication that you put into our event!
Thank you to our sponsors for believing in us and our Swirls Mission:

The amazing Lianna LaBella at Sweet Li’s & Sarah Remage-Healey at SHRH Designs for the incredible (and delicious) Swirls custom cake and topper- the perfect way to top off our event!!
The dream team and our new ballooner family, Briana and Elevated Impressions for donating the BEAUTIFUL Swirls balloon display, and for traveling all the way from the Cape to set up. The team is off to Disney next week for a special event and recognition at Give Kids The World!! We can’t wait to see your display and will be cheering you all on from Massachusetts!
Jon Goode and the KBK Sports team for the awesome silent auction items!!
David Lister and the Sides (Sydney’s Incredible Defeat of Ewing’s Sarcoma) for the donation of the official Tom Brady signed helmet! Though the GOAT is no longer in New England, he’s forever a Patriot in our eyes.
Joy Saunders and the Kendra Scott MarketStreet Lynnfield Team: Amanda, Kate, & Aaron for holding a beautiful Kendra Scott station at our luncheon, as well as a Give Back Event.

Our volunteers who were a HUGE help leading up to and on the day of the event making sure everything ran as smoothly as possible.
Thank you to all of our raffle item donors – we had almost 30 items in total- all from generous local businesses and friends.
Thank you to our warrior families, who give us the honor of sharing and displaying the names of their heroes. We will display their names proudly at every Swirls event, and carry them in our hearts every day.
And of course, to our Swirls Family and Friends – we can’t thank you enough for your constant love and support of Swirls.
We will keep Swirling Around the World- for our warriors and angels. For Matthew.
