This September, we're inviting YOU to take on our Golf Marathon. Play as many holes as you can in 30 days, on your own schedule, at any course you like, all to support First Tee- Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

This year marks our 20th anniversary. Since 2006, we've been growing the game and the kids who play it. Today our programs reach more than 28,000 kids ages 5 to 18 every year across Hamilton, Clermont, Butler, Warren, Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties.

At First Tee- Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, golf is the vehicle, not the destination. Through lessons on the course, in schools and at community centers, our coaches use the game to teach kids honesty, perseverance, respect and confidence. Those skills show up in the classroom, in friendships and in every challenge life throws at them.

That's the work your marathon powers. Every hole you play in September helps put a club in a new kid's hands, a coach in their corner and confidence in their step. Every hole helps us keep building the next generation of Game Changers.

Here's how it works:

Join the marathon. Create your fundraising page right here on this campaign and set your personal hole goal for September (50, 100, 150, you pick).
Get sponsored. Ask friends, family, coworkers or your favorite local business to back your marathon with a donation on your page.
Play anywhere, anytime. Play your home course, a local public course, or a quick par-3 round with your kids. Squeeze in a sunrise nine before work or a full 18 on the weekend. Every hole counts.
Track your holes. Post updates to your page as your count climbs, and show your sponsors what their support powered.
