Golf Marathon Challenge: 126-Holes to Support Youth Mentorship

WHAT: Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-Central PA former Board Member Joe Holston, a 4-decade supporter, is raising funds for BBBS's life-changing youth mentoring programs.

In 2020, Joe Holston launched his single-day golf challenge and thanks to the support of other golfers, friends, and our community, he's raised over $100,000! After 4 years of adding more holes each year to his challenge to support Big Brothers Big Sisters, he needed something different so in 2024 he got rid of 11 clubs and challenged the course with just a hybrid, 7 iron, and wedge. Last year he played 6 rounds (108 holes) on one September day with just 3 clubs.

This year is an even BIGGER challenge: he is playing 7 rounds (126 holes) in one day with ONLY 2 CLUBS. His goal is to raise $75,000 to support BBBS match relationships. Thanks to Manada Golf Club's donation of their course, 100% of the funds raised through this event go directly to the organization.

Joe is available for pre-event media interviews. Contact [email protected] to schedule.
