Adidas Outdoor Joins Forces with St. Jude Disc Golf Charity Invitational

The world of professional disc golf has just taken a significant leap forward with the announcement that adidas Outdoor will be sponsoring the St. Jude Disc Golf Charity Invitational. This partnership marks an important milestone in the development of professional disc golf, as it brings together two like-minded organizations dedicated to supporting a great cause.

adidas Outdoor's decision to sponsor this event was influenced by the exceptional quality of the tournament and its core mission – to support the life-saving work of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. By partnering with the St. Jude Disc Golf Charity Invitational, adidas Outdoor is not only contributing to the fundraising effort but also helping to promote the growth of disc golf as a sport.

Chris Brophy, one of the key organizers of the event, has been working closely with the adidas Outdoor team for several months now. He recently had the opportunity to take 39 of their associates out for a round of disc golf, which was a huge success. "It was fantastic to see how much they enjoyed playing disc golf," said Brophy. "One of them even brought his own discs and was really enthusiastic about it."

The St. Jude Disc Golf Charity Invitational is more than just a tournament; it's an opportunity for the disc golf community to come together and make a difference in the lives of children with life-threatening illnesses. This year, a new element has been added to the event – teaching lessons to local middle and high school students about disc golf.

In the weeks leading up to the tournament, top players such as Val Jenkins, Avery Jenkins, and Nate Doss have been visiting schools to give lessons to students. As a result of this initiative, DiscGolfPark will be designing and installing a nine-hole disc golf course on the Seaside High School campus, free of charge.

The fundraising effort for the St. Jude Disc Golf Charity Invitational continues through the end of June, with every donation counting towards the goal. Touring pro Nate Sexton has single-handedly raised $8500 for St. Jude and is leading the way in fundraising efforts. "It's been a non-stop effort since last December," said Sexton. "I've auctioned off or raffled off my personal items, including discs and bags."

The PDGA has pledged to match 100% of all donations made for the next $10,000 raised by any individual or team. As of now, over $151,380 has been raised, and with just over a month left in the fundraising effort, there's still time to make a difference.
