Last year, The B Fund highlighted Rebecca, a 16-year-old from Needham who raised $3,000 for The B Fund and the American Junior Golf Associations (AJGA) grant program. You can read more about her hard work from last year here.
Rebecca was the first of many children to begin fundraising for The B Fund by incorporating personal interests in talents; in Rebecca’s case, she used her love of golf!
Leadership Links is a nonprofit organization that helps provide an interactive way for young golfers to give back. Using their fundraising platform, for every birdie that Rebecca makes in tournaments, donors can pledge to give a certain amount to both the AJGA’s grant program and The B Fund. Last year, Rebecca raised over $3,000, so she doubled her fundraising goal to $6,000 for 2018.
The season is still ongoing, and Rebecca has already surpassed her goal! She’s made 10 birdies so far, and has raised $6,125.00 for The B Fund and the AJGA.
When asked about her involvement, Rebecca wrote, “Golf is a game that exemplifies the spirit of giving and I am so blessed to be a part of this most wonderful game. My hope is to use this game of golf that I so love to raise money for The B Fund again this year.”
The B Fund encourages children of all ages to use their time, talents, and treasures to give back to families caring for critically ill children. Rebecca demonstrates our mission wonderfully; not only is she pushing herself to improve her golf, but she also doubled her fundraising goal! Her efforts will help provide essential resources such as lodging, meals, and parking vouchers.
We hope that you will take a moment to make a pledge at this link. You can make a one-time donation or pledge an amount per birdie. Thank you for all of your support!
