Golf Fights Cancer Month

Join the New England Golf Course Owners Association this June by participating in Golf Fights Cancer Month.   Last year over twenty-five courses and owners were successful in helping raise thousands of dollars for Golf Fights Cancer.  100% of the proceeds raised went directly to cancer-related organizations supporting research and helping people living with the disease. 

Golf Fights Cancer (www.golffightscancer.org) is a non-profit volunteer organization made up of both industry professionals and average golfers who are committed to using golf as a platform to raise money in the fight against cancer.  The mission of Golf Fights Cancer is to tap into the passion and generosity of all golfers to raise needed funds for cancer-related organizations supporting research and people living with the disease.  Since its inception, Golf Fights Cancer has raised over $150,000 and the organization is committed to having the funds it raises make tangible differences in the fight against cancer.  For instance, in 2005 GFC donated $50,000 to the Floating Hospital Pediatric Cancer Center for the purchase of a blood count machine.  The machine makes a painful and stressful part of cancer treatment easier for young patients and their families.

How does it work?
Golf Fights Cancer month and GOLF MAGAZINE have teamed up on a unique partnership that will entitle each one of your golfers to a one year subscription to GOLF MAGAZINE included with each paid round including outings during the month of June…. No costs to the golf course, no cost to the golfer.

At the end of the month, send in your completed subscription cards to Golf Fights Cancer. GOLF MAGAZINE will in turn donate $1 to GFC for every name collected!

How do I sign up my facility to participate?

Please email Susan Curtin at [email protected] and provide a contact person, email and phone number.  We will send you Golf Fights Cancer POS materials, GOLF Magazine subscription cards and clear and simple ground rules that will allow you to effectively and easily implement the program at your facility, starting June 1st.

Course Recognition & Media Blitz! 

Your course will be prominently recognized on www.negcoa.org and www.golffightscancer.org. During the month of June, GFC will activate an advertising and public relations campaign that will promote Golf Fights Cancer Month to all New England media outlets.  Golfers will be directed to participating courses via the internet, radio and print.

As an added incentive, the golf course collecting the most names this June will receive four Red Sox tickets courtesy of our friends at Fenway Sports Group.  Four tickets to Red Sox RF Rooftop in the Budweiser Section, tickets come with table for four, $100 credit for food and beverage and in-seat wait service.

We believe that the potential of Golf Fights Cancer is enormous and that the collective golf community can make a huge impact in raising money and awareness to fight against cancer.  Be it a friend, colleague, or family member, sadly, cancer hits too close to home for all of us.  Golf Fights Cancer Month is designed to help your business do well, by doing good.   Please take a minute to learn more about this great organization at www.golffightscancer.org and decide to make a difference in the fight against cancer.

Yours in golf,
