Golfathons: Raise $30k in a day

WHY DO A WALKATHON WHEN YOU CAN DO AN ON CAMPUS GOLFATHON…Day or Night

SINCE YOU CAN NOW LEAVE THE GOLF COURSE…SAFELY, we can help you bring the ‘Fun – Raising’ power of a Golfathon to your school, park, neighborhood or corporate park.

A GOLFATHON IS AS EASY AS A WALKATHON TO PRODUCE: You’re just raising dollars per hole instead of per mile.  You then have an exciting day or night playing golf around campus for as many holes as you can, as a result, 80 players can raise between $25-50,000 in just one day.

OUR ONLINE ENGINE MAKES IT EASY: Our online registration and donation engine makes it easy for players to register and then send out donation emails to friends and family. Best of all it’s easy to set up, administer and you get all your fundraising dollars in your bank account before the event even starts. Learn more about how affordable our fundraising donation engine can be for your event

#1 GOLFATHON ADVANTAGE: Since it’s your venue/campus, and you are not renting a golf course, you get to keep the majority of what you raise. Now your golfathon can keep up to %90 of every fundraising dollar.

#2 GOLFATHON ADVANTAGE: Everyone can participate and benefit: Your on-campus golfathon can be a fundraising platform where every club, team and organization can raise dollars for their own causes. Now small clubs can use the golfathon to raise money where they used to have only cookie drives to raise money.

#3 GOLFATHON ADVANTAGE: It’s the most affordable golf tournament you will ever produce. Now that you aren’t renting a golf course, you don’t need to charge players big dollars to play. As a result, a much wider range of players can participate and raise nickels, dollars and dimes for your cause.

LET’S DO THE MATH: When you look at how much money you can keep by hosting your own campus golfathon, combined with what students can raise, a golfathon puts more money in your pocket than traditional golf tournaments, with much less effort. If 40 players get 10 donors to give them a $1 per hole, and each player plays 36 holes, you gross $14,400 in just one day.  Best of all, you can do 36 holes in approximately three hours.  Imagine the financial success of your event with 72, 140, or even 200 players!

GOLFATHON FUNDRAISING CALCULATOR: The charts shown below illustrate how a small number of motivated players can achieve your fundraising goals.  You can focus on one simple goal: To get your players to sign up as many donors as possible.

Important note:  “Donors” are defined as people recruited by the player to pledge toward the event.  “Supporters” are defined as people who are recruiting donors for a player, but they will not be playing.   This means your fundraising numbers can grow exponentially with the addition of “supporters”, the results can quickly become staggering dollar amounts.  Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
