Chains for Charity

Chains for Charity is a sponsored program for the USDGC designed to raise funding in support of the 501c3 Educational Disc Golf Experience (EDGE) that provides age appropriate disc golf equipment and programming to schools, camps and youth groups. Chains for Charity also supports Throw Pink that helps get women get active outdoors with disc golf and make a difference in health initiatives like breast cancer awareness.

How To Play

Besides helping a couple of great causes during the Championship, some sweet prizes are available for choosing wisely and giving freely.

Alright DGCR, where y'all at? I know you all are supportive of ideas that grow disc golf at the youth level. EDGE and Throw Pink are doing just that on a daily basis. We need your support.

Choose a USDGC player to support and make a pledge that equals the cost of a disc, two discs, five discs...it all makes a difference. :thmbup:
The Chains for Charity had fourteen sign-ups last night directly from the Smashies of Smashboxx TV live podcast.

Jay "Yeti" Reading did an interview with PDGA Radio HERE that will help push the concept out there as well.
