The eGolf Amateur Tour invites you to join our team to STAND UP TO CANCER.

Last October at the Tour Championship in Hilton Head, SC, the Amateur Golf Tour dedicated the 2010 season to winning the fight against cancer. After losing a fellow director to cancer in 2009 (view story) and reflecting on how many of our Tour members’ and directors’ lives have been affected by cancer, we knew we had to try to make a difference. As a team, The Amateur Golf Tour and its members can stand up and help win the fight against cancer.

To jumpstart our fundraising initiative, we had a fundraising raffle at our 15th National Tour Championship in Hilton Head, SC. We were able to raise almost $1000 by raffling off packages for trips to Hilton Head, generously donated by local Hilton Head businesses. (See donor page)

Why join the fight with the Stand up to Cancer organization? In September of 2008, celebrities touched by cancer hosted a one-hour special on all 3 major networks. The tagline was “This is where the end of cancer begins.” The show was to raise funds for a new initiative, Stand Up To Cancer, created to accelerate groundbreaking cancer research. SU2C's goal is to bring together the best and the brightest in the cancer community, encouraging collaboration instead of competition. Stand Up to Cancer fights all types of cancer and gives grants to the top cancer researchers in every field to find a cure for cancer in our lifetime. The clincher for us was that every penny donated goes to research.

On September 10, 2010, Once again, Stand Up To Cancer is embracing the power of Hollywood for the biggest cancer-fighting campaign in the history of television. The second nationally-televised fundraising event will air on 12 TV networks and cable channels projected to reach over 15 million Americans. A full roster of celebrities will entertain and inspire viewers, and provide updates on how patients are already benefiting from the SU2C Dream Teams' research. Mark your calendar and please tune in at 8pm/7pm Central, September 10 on ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX. If you did not see the first special, we hope that you will tune into this one. We are sure that you will be as moved as we are. Click here to learn more about this year's television event.

During the 2010 season, the initiative will continue with donations being accepted through the website and at tournaments. In addition, special team fundraising events will be held throughout the 2010 season, culminating at the 2010 National Tour Championship in October. We invite you to join our team, invite others to join, and give all you can to give others the chance to swing another day.
