Named 2021 Fundraising Event of the Year by the San Diego Business Journal, Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County Golf Marathon has raised more than $3.1 million dollars to match mentors to San Diego youth.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County (BBBS of SDC) is hosting its 29th Annual Golf Marathon at Sycuan Resort, Friday, June 24. The all-day event challenges participants to golf as many holes as they can, while raising funds to benefit San Diego children by providing them with a caring and dedicated Big Brother/Big Sister mentor. The Annual Golf Marathon was awarded the 2021 Fundraising Event of the Year by the San Diego Business Journal, and since its inaugural year, this event has raised more than $3.1 million dollars to support critical mentoring services to San Diego youth, at no cost to San Diego families.
“Many of our golf participants refer to this event, as ‘their favorite day of the year’, because they can golf all day and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded, community members who are passionate about raising funds to support local youth with preventative and empowering one-to-one mentoring programs,” said Tina Rose, President & CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County. “We are truly grateful to partner with our sponsor and host Sycuan Casino Resort to assure that all the funds raised go directly to serving youth across San Diego.”
Current Littles will be participating with their Bigs at this year’s event as a fun way to spend quality time with their match and get to interact directly with supporters.
“The Golf Marathon is a really special and unique event”, said Tim Cruickshank BBBS of SDC Board Member and Golf Marathon Chair. “There is no other event like this in San Diego, from the interaction with the ‘Littles’ and other golfers, to the excitement of going for 100 holes in one day, it’s an incredible spectacle! With the addition of a second course, we believe this year will be even better, as we focus on our goal of supporting over 150 children with one-to-one mentors this year.”
This year, participating golfers will enjoy:
BBBS of SDC invites all interested golfers to sign up for this incredible opportunity to support San Diego’s youth and win prizes! There is no fee for golfers to sign up to play; however, golfers must raise a minimum of $1,000 in donations and many exceed this commitment. Big Brothers Big Sisters has a dedicated fundraising website to help golfers meet their goals with an online donation portal, fundraising tips and pledge materials.
For more than 100 years nationally and 61 locally, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life.

We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people. The Big Brothers Big Sisters Mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth.
