What is the Mini Golf Marathon?

Grab your putter and clear your Sunday, because this is not your average round of putt putt. The Mini Golf Marathon is First Tee- Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky's newest fundraising event, and it's exactly what it sounds like: golfers of all ages taking on the two 18-hole courses at The Acres in Evendale and playing as many holes as their legs (and putting arms) can handle between 11:00 AM and 4:30 PM on Sunday, October 18.

Here's how it works. Every golfer creates their own personal fundraising page, then rallies friends, family, and coworkers to make a donation in support of their marathon.

Not up for fundraising? No problem. Make a donation of any amount as your admission and come putt with us anyway.

Our Goal: $20,000 for 20 Years

First Tee- Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky is turning 20, and we're throwing ourselves a birthday party with a goal to match: $20,000. The math is simple. 100 golfers each raising just $200. That's a few pledges from your biggest fans, one seriously fun afternoon of mini golf, and boom: a milestone worthy of two decades of changing lives.

What does it support?

Every single dollar benefits First Tee- Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, where we're building the next generation of game changers. Through the game of golf, First Tee helps kids and teens build confidence, character, and life skills they take with them everywhere: the classroom, the community, and way beyond the 18th hole. When you play, pledge, or sponsor, you're giving young people across our region the chance to grow into leaders on and off the green.
