Disc Golf for Kids' Sake Halloween Bash Brings Community Together
Date Published
This weekend, the International Disc Golf Center in Georgia will host a unique and fun-filled event that combines disc golf, community engagement, and charity work. The 1st annual "Disc Golf for Kids' Sake Halloween Bash" is set to take place on October 29th, with proceeds benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Heart of Georgia.
Brent Walton, a passionate disc golfer from Utah, has been organizing this event for four years in his hometown. He has now expanded the series to new locations, and the International Disc Golf Center is one of the first venues on the East Coast. By combining his love for disc golf with his support for Big Brothers Big Sisters, Walton has created an inclusive and entertaining experience for families and locals alike.
To attract a wider audience, Walton has organized a free festival surrounding the disc golf tournament. Local vendors have generously donated their time and resources to provide a bounce house, breakfast and lunch, a DJ, face painting, and multiple local mascots. The Augusta State University cheerleaders will also be present, volunteering their time with the children in attendance.
The disc golf tournament itself will begin at 8am, with participants playing two challenging courses: the new Steady Ed Headrick short course and the Jim Warner Memorial course. Registration is open to all skill levels, with an entry fee of $35 for any division. All proceeds from the event will go towards supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Heart of Georgia.
Over the past four years, Disc Golf for Kids' Sake has raised over $20,000 for local chapters of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Local businesses have contributed thousands of dollars in prizes and donations, including restaurant gift certificates, skydive excursions, hotel stays, electronics, and disc golf equipment.
After the tournament, participants are invited to gather at Stillwater Taproom on Saturday evening for an informal get-together. For those who cannot attend the event in person, online donations can be made through the Big Brothers Big Sisters website or by visiting the Disc Golf for Kids' Sake website for more information.
As Walton explains, "Disc Golf for Kids' Sake was founded in 2008 with the goal of raising awareness and funds for local chapters of Big Brothers Big Sisters. We aim to create a fun and inclusive environment that brings people together while supporting an important cause."
