What Is It?
This April, supporters take on a simple challenge: play as many holes as possible in one day and raise money for coaches and their families facing hardship.
April carries weight for us. It marks both the passing (April 6) and birthday (April 10) of Coach Jamal Powell—the reason this foundation exists. Our CEO Casey will be completing his round on Coach Jamal Powell’s birthday in his honor.
He wasn’t a great golfer and didn’t pretend to be—but he loved the camaraderie of a round. That’s the spirit behind this challenge.
This challenge runs throughout April—pick your day and commit to it. No registration. No minimums. Just pick a day and go.
How It Works:
Five Simple Steps
1
Pick a day
Choose any day in April that works for you.
2
set your goal
Play 18, 36, or as many holes as you can in one day.
3
get pledges
Ask friends, family, and colleagues to support your round.
4
play your round
Get out there, track your holes, and enjoy the day.
5
follow up
Share your results and send your supporters the donation link.
How to Support Coaches by Playing Golf
Keep it simple and tailor to your golf game — most people do something like:
per hole played
$1–$5 per hole
per par and/or birdie
$5–$10 per par
$10–$25 per birdie
offer to cap donation
Up to $X amount
offer a flat donation
No mathing... Simple one-time donation
Why It Matters
This is a different kind of way to support BMF.
It’s not just asking for a donation—it’s personal, it’s active, and it brings people together around something simple: a day on the course.
And it adds up quickly...
If just 10 participants each raise ~$200 from 10 people, that’s $20,000 (!)—enough to fund two Jamal Powell Legacy Grants for coaches and their families facing hardship.
