The Golfweek Amateur Tour is about more than competition. It's about community, camaraderie, and making a difference.

This week, Tim Newman and Chris Rocha welcome Arizona Tour Director Gabe Garcia and Assistant Director Jordan Isaac to discuss an ambitious nationwide fundraising campaign benefiting the V Foundation for Cancer Research. What began as a successful Arizona initiative is now expanding across the entire Golfweek Amateur Tour family, creating opportunities for players from every market to contribute to an important cause.

Gabe and Jordan share details about the upcoming online auction featuring golf packages, stay-and-play experiences, and bucket-list golf destinations from across the country. They also discuss how every Golfweek Amateur Tour market can participate through creative fundraising efforts, 50/50 raffles, closest-to-the-pin contests, and member-driven initiatives.

The conversation goes beyond fundraising as the group reflects on the impact cancer has had on members of the Golfweek Amateur Tour family, including the ongoing challenges faced by National Tour Director Dennis McCormac and his wife Jennifer. They also discuss plans to honor veterans, cancer survivors, and those we've lost by sharing their stories throughout the campaign.

Later, Tim, Chris, Gabe, and Jordan share personal stories about golf, family, fathers, and the memories that keep bringing us back to the game. If you've ever wished for just one more round with someone special, this conversation will resonate.
