PLAYING FOR A PURPOSE
Hope is not cancelled, Hospice is not cancelled, and golf certainly isn’t cancelled!
Since the onset of the pandemic, much has changed for us here at Hospice, as we continue to provide our critical services to our community. Our essential fundraising efforts have been hampered, especially with the necessary cancellations of our in-person events, and we have had to pivot with new and innovative ways to raise the necessary funds to support our mission.
Our annual Hospice Golf Tournament is going to look a little different this year, but we are so excited for this new opportunity to bring you fun and philanthropy safely in 2021, with our Hospice Fantasy Golf Open!
How it works:
- For this year’s golf tournament, we will be pairing with TDJ Golf, a leading fantasy golf app! Each golfer will purchase a ticket to enter the fantasy golf tournament via our GiveSmart webpage and will compete against others supporting Hospice.
- Once registration is complete players receive a code to enter into the TDJ Golf App. Starting Monday, August 23rd at 8 a.m. through 8 p.m. on Wednesday, August 25th, each ticketed participant will use the TDJ Golf app to draft three teammates (just like fantasy football) from the entrants that will be playing live in the in the BMW Championship in Owings Mill, Maryland from the 26th to the 29th.
- Golfers will then play a round (18 holes) of golf at a course of their choice between Thursday, August 26th and Sunday, August 29th.
- Once completed, participants submit the score from their round and handicap into the TDJ Golf App. Players not happy with their score are welcome to golf again and re-submit, and the app will use the score from the best round. Points will be awarded based on how participants play against their handicap.
- Points from your live golf round will then be added to the fantasy golf scores of the players you drafted to determine the order of finish.
- Cash Prizes will be awarded for the top three finishers in the following categories: Overall Champion (best personal score + pro team), Best Real Golf Score (in comparison to handicap), and Best Fantasy Team Score.
- The TDJ app will feature live updates of the Hospice Fantasy Golf Open throughout the entire tournament, so you can follow along as you watch the BMW Championship on TV!
- The four-day event will also feature a silent auction and raffles through our GiveSmart site! So, whether golfing or not, anyone can participate and be a part of the event!
All proceeds from this event will directly benefit the patients and their families we serve.
