Dear AFAF Family,

The 12th Annual Anything For A Friend Golf Tournament is officially SOLD OUT.

Both courses are full. We even have a waiting list.

And while that fills us with overwhelming gratitude, it also reminds us of something bigger — the golf tournament is not the mission. It fuels the mission.

For eleven years, because of this community, we have given nearly $700,000 directly to families battling ALL types of cancer. We are entirely volunteer-run, meaning your support goes straight to families who are facing medical bills, housing stress, travel costs, and daily living expenses during treatment.

Now that golf is sold out, sponsorships drive the impact.

If you are looking for the most efficient and meaningful way to help this year, a $100 Hole Sponsorship is the simplest way to make a direct difference. For families, small businesses, and individuals, it is an easy way to stand beside someone fighting cancer.

We also have Leadership and Contest Sponsorships available:

🥇 $750 Food Stand Sponsor (2 available – one per course)
🥇 $500 Gold Sponsor
🥈 $250 Silver Sponsor
🏌️ $500 Hole-In-One Contest Coverage Sponsor
💪 $250 Long Drive Sponsor
🎯 $200 Putting Contest Sponsor
💛 $100 Hole Sponsor

Each level helps us continue saying “yes” when families call.

If you have ever believed in Papp’s legacy of Anything For A Friend, this is how we carry it forward.

To sponsor:
Visit www.afaffoundation.org
Venmo -dotson-AFAF
Or reply directly to this email

Thank you for being part of something bigger than a golf tournament.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Dotson and Garcia Families

Dear AFAF Family,

We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming response to this year’s tournament. Both courses are nearly full before we even open registration to the public next week — something we will never take for granted.

While the golfers fill the fairways, it is our sponsors who make the real impact possible.

Every sponsorship directly fuels our ability to say “yes” when a family battling cancer calls us in need. Because of this community, we have been able to give away nearly $700,000 over the past eleven years — and that is only possible because of generous supporters like you.

As we prepare for May 16th, we are actively securing our sponsorship partners. We have multiple levels available, including Hole Sponsorships starting at just $100. These are simple, meaningful ways to be visibly part of the day while making a real difference for a family in need.

If you, your family, or your business would be willing to sponsor at any level this year, please reply to this email and we will take care of the rest.

Papp lived every day by the words “Anything For A Friend.” Thank you for helping us carry that spirit forward again this year.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Dotson and Garcia Families

Hi AFAF Family and Friends,

We hope you’re doing well. We wanted to let you know that it is that time of year again when the golf tournament launches and hopefully sells out.

On May 16, 2026, we will be hosting our 12th Annual Anything For A Friend (AFAF) Golf Tournament, and we would truly love for you to be part of it.

As you know. Anything For A Friend Foundation was created to support families facing cancer—all types of cancer—by providing direct, meaningful financial help during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Everything we do is powered by volunteers, and the money raised goes directly toward helping families when they need it most.

This event has become the heart of our foundation. It’s a day filled with purpose, gratitude, and community—while also being a great opportunity to come together, enjoy a round of golf and some auctions and raffles , and support an important cause.

We’re welcoming:

Golfers and foursomes

Business, family, or individual sponsors

Friends who simply want to support the mission in any way they can

We have several sponsorship levels available (including contest and hole sponsors), and every level of support truly makes a difference. Details are attached, and you can also learn more about the foundation at www.afaffoundation.org.

If you’re able to join us—whether as a golfer, sponsor, or supporter—we would be incredibly grateful. And if you can’t make it this year, thank you for taking a moment to read this and for keeping our mission close to heart.

Thank you for always supporting us and for helping us continue to stand with families who need it most. Together, we really can make a difference.

With gratitude and love,

The Dotson and Garcias

Reminder: Our 10th Annual Bowling Event is Next Month!

Dear AFAF Family and Friends,

We're just a few weeks away from our 10th Annual AFAF Bowling Event on Saturday, October 11th, and we can't wait to see you there! We’re writing to ask for your help to make this our best year yet.

Your support means the world to us and to the families we serve. This year, we have three specific goals to ensure we reach our fundraising target.

We Need More Bowlers!

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or have never bowled a day in your life, we want you to join the fun! The more teams we have, the bigger the impact. It's a great opportunity to get together with friends and family for a fantastic cause. Please register your team today!

Your Donations Make a Difference

Our silent and live auctions are a huge part of our fundraising success. We are still looking for amazing items for our auction baskets. If you or someone you know can donate a gift card, a product, or a unique experience, please let us know. Every item helps us raise more to support families facing cancer.

Become a Lane Sponsor

If you can’t make it to the event, you can still show your support by sponsoring a bowling lane. For just $50, your name or business will be displayed on a lane, showing your commitment to our mission. It’s a great way to contribute and get your name out there!

Thank you again for your continued generosity. We are so grateful for your partnership and look forward to seeing you on October 11th.
