The 100 Hole Challenge

Bigger Than the Game

This isn’t just 100 holes—it’s showing up, creating opportunity, and building belonging.

Putt to Make a Difference is a team-based fundraiser supporting KennedyStrong programs.

Teams of four take on 100 holes while raising funds for inclusive opportunities for individuals with IDD.

Build your team. Share your story. Make an impact.

Our goal: 30 teams. $1,000 each. $30,000 total.
That funds KennedyStrong Summer Camps—4 weeks of Inclusive Sports (ages 5–14) and 6 weeks of Let’s Build Skills for teens and young adults.

Event Day: Sunday, April 19 at Jocko’s Mini Golf (Kannapolis)

100 holes. Music. Energy. Community. Let’s go!

We’ll give you everything you need to fundraise—scripts, tools, and support.

More than a game—this is community!

Ways to Participate

Putt to Make a Difference: The 100 Hole Challenge is designed to be simple, fun, and impactful. 

Here’s how you can be part of the challenge:

Team Captian

Be a Team Captain

Step up and lead! Most captains are individuals with IDD—making this a powerful leadership opportunity.

Can’t have your captain there in person?
You can also build a team in honor of someone with IDD—playing for them, representing them, and sharing their story.

Each team gets a Caddy (parent/support person) to help with details so the Captain can lead the fun.

Build Your Team

Grab 3 people—friends, family, coworkers, anyone!
Your team of 4 = more fun, more impact.

Playing in honor of someone? Invite people who know and love them—or who want to support your “why.”

Fundraise Together

3 weeks. $1,000 goal per team.
We’ll give you easy templates to share—just send and go.

Whether you’re playing with someone or in honor of someone, your story is what inspires people to give!
