TITLE: Disc Golfers Unite to Fight Breast Cancer
META_TITLE: Support Breast Cancer Awareness with PDGA Events
META_DESCRIPTION: Join the Professional Disc Golf Association in October as they donate to breast cancer research through their sanctioned events, aiming to break the $10,000 mark for a fifth year.
The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is once again lending its support to Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Since 2013, the PDGA has been donating $2 for every female participant in one of their sanctioned events during this time. This initiative not only raises funds but also aims to increase participation from women in disc golf, ultimately contributing to a greater awareness and understanding of breast cancer.
Over the past four years, the collective efforts of more than 3,500 female competitors have helped accumulate a total donation of $9,098. With Prodigy Discs, the United States Women's Disc Golf Championship raffle and silent auction, and the Magnolia Open all contributing to this effort, the PDGA is confident that their fifth-year participation will push them over the $10,000 mark.
The mission behind this initiative is straightforward: encourage more women to participate in PDGA-sanctioned events during October. By doing so, they not only contribute financially but also raise awareness for breast cancer through a fun and engaging activity like disc golf. The funds collected from these events will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), an organization renowned for its efficiency and commitment to breast cancer research.
As one of the most respected breast cancer organizations in the United States, BCRF boasts an "A+" rating from CharityWatch and a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. Their work is characterized by their dedication to finding efficient solutions and effective treatments for breast cancer. This year's funds will be crucial in supporting their mission.
To get involved, find your local PDGA-sanctioned event in October and invite friends, family members, or anyone interested in participating. With over 325 events scheduled across the United States, there is a venue close by waiting to welcome you. Sign up today and join forces with the PDGA in supporting this important cause.
