I am asking you to help me to raise funds for our wonderful Foundation by contributing an amount per hole. Any amount is of course welcome and I am fully hopeful to raise the most amount I have ever raised which has been $9,000 in the past.
The CDGA Foundation will conduct 92 golf camps reaching more than 1,200 individuals with disabilities. The program was recognized by the USGA as the largest grassroots golf program designed specifically for individuals with disabilities in the country. The Foundation also works in conjunction with Revelation Golf and the Odyssey Golf Foundation to employ the therapeutic benefits of golf as part of a structured rehabilitation program for wounded veterans, while also bringing opportunities to active duty military and their families.
I hope you can join me in contributing to these wonderful programs and also give back to this great game that has help us meet so many wonderful friends and colleagues.
As an added incentive Rosemarie and I wish to invite you all to a barbeque, great steaks and red wines, at our house on May 25th. This will be a great kickoff to our wonderful summer golf season in Chicago.
Thanks so much for all you do.
The CDGA Foundation Golf Marathon has been an integral part of the CDGA Foundation’s fundraising efforts, raising over $900,000 in its previous twelve years. Funds raised go directly towards CDGA Foundation programming, which utilizes the game of golf to enhance the lives of individuals with special needs, veterans and youth.
FORMAT
Participating golfers spend the time leading up to the event collecting pledges from family, friends and business associates. The CDGA Foundation provides participants with tools to achieve a $2,500 fundraising goal. Then, on Saturday, May 22 at Zigfield Troy Golf in Woodridge, golfers will play 100 par-3 holes in a fun and quick fashion. Lastly, individuals who reach the $2,500 fundraising goal will be invited to a year-end party featuring golf and two meals at a private country club.
