What Our Volunteers Say: Tournament Testimonials
For more than 25 years, Jimmy Fund Golf has flourished, thanks to the dedication of thousands of volunteer tournament organizers, many within the business world. Join our family of more than 160 events and make beating cancer your business by starting a tournament.
"From a business standpoint, our tournament represents a day in which our company, vendors, and suppliers can all let our guards down and enjoy a great day on the golf course, all while knowing that our contributions are helping people in need. Our tournament vendors and sponsors always look forward to it each year, and they talk about it all year long. It's a win-win."

Throughout all of the planning, the Jimmy Fund Golf staff has always been a true partner and source of support. They are always willing to help out."
