What if every round you played could help save a child’s life?
Whether you’re hitting the course with friends, part of a league, or planning an outing, golf is a powerful way to help find cures for childhood cancer. With St. Baldrick’s athletic fundraisers, you can get active in the fight to conquer kids’ cancer while doing something you already love.

Here are a few simple ways to turn your time on the course into impact.

1. Turn Your Round Into a Fundraiser

Every round is an opportunity to give back.
Set a personal fundraising goal and invite friends, family, and fellow golfers to support you as you play.
Ideas to try:

  • Ask for a donation per hole played
  • Set a fundraising goal for the season
  • Share your rounds and progress on social media

2. Host a Golf Outing

Bring your community together for a day on the course.
Organizing a golf outing is a great way to raise funds while creating a fun and meaningful experience for everyone involved.
Ideas to try:

  • Charge a participation fee that supports your fundraiser
  • Add contests like longest drive or closest to the pin
  • Invite local sponsors or businesses to support your fundraiser

3. Create a Friendly Competition

Add a little extra motivation to your game.
Turn your regular golf group, league, or outing into a fundraising challenge.
Examples:

  • Friendly wagers where proceeds go to your fundraiser
  • Team-based competitions with a fundraising goal
  • Challenges tied to performance (birdies, pars, etc.)

4. Play in Honor of Someone

Make your time on the course even more meaningful.
Dedicate your fundraiser to a child with cancer, a survivor, or someone you love. Share why you’re playing and invite others to support your cause.

Make Every Round Matter

When you turn your golf game into a fundraiser, you’re helping kids with cancer:

  • Survive their diagnosis
  • Grow up and thrive
  • Get back to the activities they love

Because every child deserves the chance to play and get back to being a kid again.
