What is a 100 Hole Golf Marathon? 

A Golf Marathon is a fundraising event where participants aim to play as many holes of golf as they can (or 100 holes) in a single day. It is our goal to raise $30K this year between two golf marathons, Currie and IMA Brookwood. The funds raised will directly support our programs and initiatives at First Tee Eastern Michigan, helping us to continue making a positive impact on the lives of young people through the game of golf. 

How does a Golf Marathon work?  

Marathoners raise money by receiving pledges from their friends, family, coworkers, etc. on their Fundraising page. Pledges can either be per hole or a flat donation. On the day of the marathon, golfers play as many holes as they can in one day and try to raise as much money as they can depending on pledges received. For example, if a marathoner is pledged $5 a hole and plays 100 holes, they’ve raised $500. 

How Do the Teams Work?
We have created three teams: Coaches, Parents, and Board/Committee Members to compete in reaching their fundraising goal! Teams are competing against each other to see which team can raise the most funds for First Tee Eastern Michigan. You can join a team and start fundraising to compete against others below!

Donation Types:  

Flat Donations: Donors can choose to give a fixed amount, regardless of how many holes are played.  

Pledge Per Hole: Donors pledge a specific amount for each hole completed. This can be a great motivator for participants to reach their 100-hole goal, knowing that each additional hole played increases the total donation.
