Charity on the Fairway
Iowa State's women's basketball program, in partnership with the We Will Fund, is set to host its fourth annual golf outing on September 18 at the historic Ames Golf and Country Club. The event, now a staple of the university's community calendar, blends sport, philanthropy and celebration in a setting that draws both alumni and local supporters.
Competitors will tee off at 9 a.m. in a four‑person best‑shot format, where each team’s lowest score on a hole counts toward the collective tally. The shotgun start promises a lively atmosphere as groups disperse across the course, creating a dynamic backdrop for the day's activities.
Participants can look forward to a welcome gift bag, a catered lunch and two drink tickets, while also gaining entry to a post‑round social gathering. The blend of amenities is designed to keep the focus on camaraderie and the cause, rather than mere competition.
All money raised through entry fees, sponsorships and donations will be funneled directly into the Iowa State women's basketball program, providing critical support for scholarships, travel and recruiting efforts. By channeling proceeds to student‑athletes, the outing underscores the university's commitment to nurturing both athletic and academic excellence.
Organizers have opened slots for corporate sponsorships and individual contributions, inviting businesses and community members to amplify their impact. Such partnerships not only bolster the program financially but also reinforce the broader mission of empowering young women in sports.
