PDGA Kicks Off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Throw Pink Initiative

The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) is once again launching its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month initiative, this time supporting the non-profit organization Throw Pink. For every female competitor participating in a PDGA-sanctioned event with a gender-based division at C-tier and above during October, $2 will be donated to Throw Pink.

This fundraising effort has been ongoing since 2013, with the goal of increasing women's participation in disc golf events while supporting a worthy cause. In previous years, the initiative has raised over $200,000 for women's health-related charities, specifically breast cancer initiatives. The PDGA is proud to continue this tradition and make a positive impact on the disc golf community.

Throw Pink encourages women and girls to get physically active through disc golf, promoting healthy lifestyles and raising money for charity. By participating in PDGA-sanctioned events during October, competitors will be contributing to this mission. Every time a competitor plays in a qualifying event, $2 will be donated to Throw Pink, making it a simple yet effective way to make a difference.

To amplify the fundraising efforts, the PDGA invites participants and spectators to share their personal stories of how breast cancer has affected them or their loved ones. These stories can serve as a platform for hope, encouragement, and awareness, promoting the importance of annual mammograms and other health checks.

Competitors can search for October events on PDGA.com or Disc Golf Scene to get involved in this worthy cause. By participating in these events, players will not only be supporting breast cancer research but also contributing to the growth and development of women's disc golf.

The PDGA has a long history of supporting charitable initiatives through its Competition Endowment Program (CEP), which allows Tournament Directors to host events for various charities. This October, CEP events can be categorized as charity, scholastic, or developmental, providing an opportunity for hosts to raise funds for their chosen charity while promoting disc golf and community engagement.

By participating in PDGA-sanctioned events during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, competitors can make a tangible difference in the fight against breast cancer. Whether it's playing in one tournament or hosting your own event, every contribution counts, and together we can multiply our impact on this worthy cause.
