Support the Longest Week of Golf this summer!
About The Event
The Balance & Believe Foundation has partnered with the Wisconsin PGA Foundation, Carbone Cancer Research Center, and the MACC Fund.
The Longest Week of Golf is centered around promoting junior golf while raising money for the community. During the Longest week of Golf junior golfers from all over the state will choose a day to play as many holes as they can from sun up to sun down. Starting April 1st there will be a fundraising poster board in the foyer of participating golf courses for people to donate (pledge money per hole multiplied by the number of holes played). John smith donates $.50 per hole and the group plays 100 holes then John Smith owes $50. Junior players will make up foursomes to play as many holes as they can in a 2 hour block. After 2 hours the next foursome can tag in or the other group can just continue for another 2 hours. This continues throughout the day until sun down.
Our goal is that to have golf courses all over the Wisconsin participate in an attempt to raise $1,000,000! The money will be split up between our fight against cancer and growing the game of of golf.
Each player must be 16 because each player gets their own cart. Each player also gets a blow horn to let golfers know they are coming through and to take cover. Golf shop will make sure everybody that tees off knows that this event is taking place. Once you have the players get your current junior program to start raising money. The juniors do this by getting people to donate a certain amount of money for each hole played. Example, John Smith donates 50 cents a hole. The foursome plays 200 holes, John Smith donates $100. Things can really add up. Have a simple goal of getting enough donations to total $100 a hole. Balance & Believe is set up as a 501c3. All donations are paid to the foundation. This allows for a tax exemption. Balance & Believe will then turn around and fund the courses B&B 36 Junior Development Program. Each junior program will attach themselves to a charitable cause within the community. Balance & Believe already has partnerships with charities and each program is more than welcome to get on board with any of them.
All proceeds from each course will go through the B&B Foundation. B&B will payout 70% of the proceeds back to the course that hosts the event. If a course brings in $20,000, $14,000 would be available for the B&B 36 Junior Program and their money would be designated for a charity of their choice or one on the list provided by B&B.
