Golf Fights Cancer

⛳💚 What an extraordinary two days.

Last week, 140 Golf Marathoners (including 30 first-timers and 36 junior golfers) came together at Juniper Hill Golf Course to take on one incredible challenge: 100 holes of golf in a single day.

Together, this remarkable community of cancer survivors, caregivers, family members, friends, and supporters raised more than $1 million to support 20 organizations that provide access to early detection, research of rare cancers, and patient & family support throughout the entire cancer journey.

To our golfers, donors, volunteers, beneficiary partners, and the entire Juniper Hill team: thank you. Your commitment and generosity are creating a lasting impact for thousands of families.

More than golf. A community changing lives. 💚⛳

Tomorrow, Tom Beusse will tee it up for his second Golf Fights Cancer Golf Marathon, more than 20 years after completing his first 100-hole challenge in 2005. 💚⛳

This year, Tom is dedicating his Golf Marathon to the memory of his beloved sister, Patti, who passed away from cancer in 2016.

"I am partnering with Red Door Community in this year's GFC Golf Marathon for my 'Big Sister,' Patti, and for her husband, children, and all of us who have ever felt the brutality of cancer. I am doing it in the hope that greater awareness will result in more funding and research in the fight for a cure, and to support the critical assistance and support that Door Community provides to cancer patients and their families at their time of need."

After two decades away from the event, Tom is once again proving that the Golf Marathon is about much more than golf. It's about honoring loved ones, supporting families facing cancer, and turning personal loss into meaningful impact.

We are one week away from Christine Brainard's first GFC Golf Marathon⛳

Christine is taking on her first-ever 100-hole day as part of Team Cancer Sucks, a family team founded by her brother, Tim, that has grown over the past four years to include Christine, her husband, Doug, her cousin and his wife, and a close family friend. Because, unfortunately, cancer impacts us all!

Christine is participating in memory of her beloved mother, Carol, who passed away from liver cancer in 2023. Honoring her memory and carrying forward the compassion she showed others has become a powerful motivation for Christine’s Golf Marathon journey.

Together, Team Cancer Sucks is raising funds for Marisa's Mission to help ensure that families facing cancer don’t have to worry about financial hardship while navigating one of the most difficult times in their lives.

By playing 100 holes in one day, Christine is turning love, loss, and gratitude into action, helping provide hope, relief, and support to families who need it most.

For an incredible 18th year, Glenn Kelly is once again taking on the challenge of playing 100 holes in one day at Golf Fights Cancer’s Golf Marathon, fueled by gratitude, purpose, and the remarkable community that has helped him raise nearly $300,000 for families affected by cancer 💚⛳

This year, Glenn is playing in memory of his dear friend, Barbara Cook, who passed away six years ago from pancreatic cancer. Barbara had a rare way about her, deeply devoted to her family, endlessly kind to friends and strangers alike, and often the first to step up when someone needed support. Her memory continues to inspire Glenn’s commitment to making a difference for others facing this disease.

As Glenn shared, he remains motivated to raise as much as possible for “families who are facing far tougher days than a retired golf pro attempting another 100 holes.”

Please join us in supporting Glenn’s 2026 Golf Marathon campaign in honor of Barbara and the many special individuals he has played for over the last 18 years. To learn more and donate, visit https://secure.qgiv.com/event/negolfmarathon/account/2225769/ 💚
