Victoria National Head Pro Gives Back Through Golf
Dormie Network Foundation • May 22, 2025
Steven Sullivan and Jake Peacock
Jeanne and Martha Fore a Cure Golf Outing
Jake Peacock, Head Golf Professional at Victoria National, spends his days leading the golf team and creating unforgettable experiences for members and guests. Whether he’s leading a member-guest tournament or welcoming guests in the Golf Shop, Jake is at the center of the action.
In his free time, he’s helped raise over half a million dollars for cancer research—and that number keeps climbing. Since 2017, Jake and his lifelong friend Steven Sullivan have hosted the Jeanne & Martha Fore a Cure Golf Outing—a charity event created to honor their mothers, both of whom bravely battled cancer. They had no event-planning experience, but they didn’t let that stop them.
Their passion project has grown into a meaningful movement. In 2024, donated memberships and Stay & Play Packages from Dormie Network Foundation raised $30,000 for the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Dormie Network Foundation has made a two-year commitment to direct net proceeds from the Collier Classic, a Dormie Network member-guest event, to the Jeanne & Martha Fore a Cure Fund.

A powerful story of friendship and the fight against cancer
How Two Friends from Indiana Turned Their Passion for Golf into a Philanthropic Mission, Raising Over $500,000 for Cancer Research Through a Charity Golf Outing
Running a charity golf outing isn’t how most people choose to spend their free time. But for Jake Peacock, Head Golf Professional at Victoria National, and his lifelong friend Steven Sullivan, it was something they felt deeply called to do.
"I wish I never had to do this," said Jake Peacock.
Moved by their mothers’ cancer diagnoses, Jake and Steven combined their passion for golf and strong community ties to create an annual charity golf outing named in honor of their mothers—Jeanne Potts and Martha Sullivan. With support from sponsors and partners like Dormie Network Foundation, their annual charity golf outing that started from grassroots efforts has grown into a major fundraiser named the Jeanne & Martha Fore A Cure Fund. Since 2017, the duo has raised more than $500,000 for cancer research.
Steven and Jake hold onto the hope that one day there will be a cure. Until then, they remain committed to doing everything they can to support those facing the toughest fight of their lives.
“People have been willing to give and support in ways I never expected,” Jake reflects and credits much of the event’s success to the relationships he’s built throughout his golf career and through Dormie Network.
Registration is now open for the 2025 Jeanne & Martha Fore a Cure Golf Outing! Can’t attend but still want to make an impact? Sponsorship opportunities are available.
