In For a Penny, In For a Par
For a few years now I’ve been thinking about a personal challenge I wanted to undertake. Last fall an old friend told me to just do it. Well Mitch, here goes...
Raising money for an endurance challenge. A typical round of golf (18 holes) takes 3.5 to 5.0 hours depending on venue. I’m going to play as many rounds as I can in one day. My goal - 7 rounds/126 holes.
On Monday, July 13th (rain or shine), I’ll spend approximately 14 hours in pursuit of this goal. My thanks to Steve Madison and the Golf Club of Avon for providing the venue.
Will you support me? Every penny I raise will go to Gifts of Love - an organization founded more than 30 years ago by the local community with only one goal: to provide hope and comfort to those experiencing a financial crisis - neighbors helping neighbors. Gifts of Love offers short-term programs and education, including nutritional resources to more than 700 people a month, helping to support and improve their current situation.
There are many ways you can give: a flat amount for the cause (eg $50, $100), an amount Per Hole (eg $1, $2), an amount Per Round (eg $10, $20) or even a Challenge Pledge (eg $150 for 7 completed rounds). I am going to match all pledges dollar for dollar for the first $5,000. Together, let’s raise $10,000 for Gifts of Love!
If you’d like to help and do something great for the community, please Fund Me. Flat amounts are easy, simply enter the site and give. For per hole, per round or challenge pledges, you can create a placeholder with a nominal amount and then complete your contribution when the final results are reported.
Thank You for your consideration.
