Contest Awards $10,000 Donation to a Golf
Fundraiser Plus Exclusive Golf Stay & Play Package to
Nominator
GolfStatus, the leading technology platform for charity golf
tournaments and fundraisers, is once again teaming up with its
giving partners at Dormie Network and Dormie Network Foundation for
the Play It Forward campaign, which gives back to organizations
that are using golf for good.
Now in its fourth year, the campaign is a unique opportunity to
“play” it forward. Individuals are invited to nominate a charity or
nonprofit raising money through golf to receive a $10,000 donation
to its golf tournament. The nominator of the winning golf event
will receive a Dormie Network Stay and Play Package, good for a
two-day, one-night stay at one of its private destination golf
clubs.
“Play It Forward celebrates golf’s incredible capacity to do
good through thousands of charity golf tournaments that raise
mission-critical funds for organizations of all types and sizes,”
says Brian Schenk, Chief Philanthropy Officer at Dormie Network
Foundation. “This campaign demonstrates our companies’ collective,
ongoing commitment to moving nonprofit causes forward.”
Play It Forward has contributed $40,000 to four nonprofits since
its inception in 2021.
- 2023: Avery’s Hope. Avery’s Hope is an all-volunteer,
grassroots organization that provides financial assistance to rare,
ultra-rare, and undiagnosed pediatric GI patient families. A Top
Golf fundraiser was chosen to be more inclusive for the patients
and families the nonprofit serves.
- 2022: Sisters Across America and Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Sisters Across America provides support and mentoring for young
minority women pursuing professional golfing careers and teaching
juniors to grow the game, raising money through two annual golf
fundraisers. Make-A-Wish of Philadelphia, Delaware, and Susquehanna
Valley’s Pro-Am for Wishes raises money to grant life-changing
wishes for children with critical illnesses.
- 2021: Cameron Steinberg Foundation. Created by the
parents of Cameron Steinberg, who passed away at just two months
old from hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the Foundation raises
money for research into congenital heart defects and resources for
patients and families. Using golf as its primary fundraising
vehicle, the Foundation has raised over $200,000 in four
years.
The contest launches May 27 and nominations will be accepted
through July 4. Winners will be announced via press release and on
GolfStatus’ and Dormie Network’s social media channels by August
31.
