CDGA Foundation Fundraising Events

The 16th CDGA Foundation Golf Marathon is set to kickoff the Foundation's 2024 fundraising events in May.

At the CDGA, we create opportunities for everyone to experience the benefits of golf – on and off the course. It is part of our primary mission to give back in order to grow the game and create accessibility for all golfers. The following CDGA Foundation events are available this year to raise support for CDGA Outreach programs:
