San Diego County CA— Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County (BBBS of SDC) is hosting a day on the green at its 23rd Annual Golf Marathon at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, Friday, June 17.
The all-day event challenges participants to golf as many holes as they can with all funds raised benefiting San Diego children waiting to be matched with a Big Brother/Big Sister mentor. Since its inaugural year, this event has raised more than $2.1 million dollars to match mentors to San Diego youth.
“We look forward to this event each year. It’s heartwarming to see the outpouring of support from our community in terms of golfers willing to attempt 100 holes of golf and hundreds of businesses and individuals pledging to insure waiting children can be matched with Big Brothers and Big Sisters” said Deborah Condon, BBBS of SDC President and CEO.
This year, participating golfers will enjoy:
May incentive: The biggest fundraiser in May will get to throw out the First Pitch at the Padres game on June 6th (vs. the Atlanta Braves), with a visit to the field for batting practice and field level tickets!
All inclusive golf from sunrise to sunset – play 18 or go for 100!

• Tee Packages
• Awards and dinner banquet
• Special pricing on rooms and spa packages
• Course contests including longest drive, closest to the pin and so much more!
• Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks & course refreshments are all included
• Over $10,000 in prize giveaways
• Hole-in-One Prizes including a new CAR from Frank Toyota

There is no fee for golfers to sign up to play; however, golfers must raise a minimum of $1,500 in donations and many exceed this commitment. Big Brothers Big Sisters has a dedicated fundraising website to help golfers meet their goals with an online donation portal, fundraising tips and pledge materials.
Last year’s Golf Marathon raised $147,000 net and BBBS of SDC is hoping to surpass that amount this year. Those interested in signing up or donating to help positively impact children’s lives in the San Diego community and fund a child’s new mentoring opportunity can visit the Golf Marathon website (www.SDBigs.org/GM) to learn more.
