Fundraising golf events are a summer staple for many nonprofits.
But you don’t have to play host to an expensive, day-long tournament to host a golf-themed fundraiser.
A chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in Halifax, Canada, for instance, has raised more than $50,000 during the past two years by playing host to a unique event called Nine at Night — the brainchild of Adam Fredericks, a volunteer at the organization.
According to Halifax Metro, Fredericks came up with the idea as a twist on the Society’s popular Light the Night peer-to-peer campaign. Participants collect donations and play nine holes of golf at night on a course lined with thousands of glow sticks.
Some nonprofits have also benefited from golf marathon events in which participants collect pledges and challenge themselves to complete 100 holes of golf in a single day.
