EVENT DETAILS
We love to welcome new babies into the world, but we don’t want to welcome them too soon. The brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi are joining March of Dimes at Topgolf Fore Families as we fight for full-term pregnancies and ending preventable preterm birth, so all babies and families can have the best possible start!
Attendees will enjoy a fun-filled evening of golf, food & drink, games, prizes and socializing at any of the state-of-the-art Topgolf venues nationwide, which provide a FUN environment that caters to all skill levels, even non-golfers. Each spacious bay accommodates six golfers with support from a golf pro. Golfers will participate in the Top Contender Tournament and compete against their brothers playing simultaneously at other Topgolf locations from coast to coast with live team leaderboards across all on-site TVs and online.
Topgolf Fore Families is a perfect opportunity to bring your Kappa Alpha Psi chapter together with your family, friends, colleagues and neighbors for an afternoon of fun while fighting for maternal & infant health!
KAPPA ALPHA PSI AND MARCH OF DIMES PARTNERSHIP
Through its worldwide prominence, Kappa Alpha Psi® has had a global impact on events which affect our local communities as well as places around the globe. Local chapters of Kappa Alpha Psi® participate in community outreach activities to feed the homeless, provide scholarships to young people matriculating to college, serve as mentors to young men, participate in blood drives and serve as hosts of seminars for public health awareness to name a few.
Within our partnership the men of Kappa Alpha Psi will participate in Topgolf Fore Families, March for Babies, host men's mental health seminars and will advocate for moms and babies.
HOW IT WORKS
Start a Topgolf Fore Families experience for your local chapter:
FIND A LOCATION:
Check to see what Topgolf locations are near you at: https://topgolf.com/us/locations/
**March of Dimes cannot guarantee availability, especially at the Las Vegas, El Segundo and San Jose Topgolf locations.
PURCHASE YOUR TOPGOLF EXPERIENCE:
Two full bays (6 golfers per bay) must be purchased per Topgolf location to initiate a new Topgolf Fore Families experience. The cost is $250 per golfer and includes food, non-alcoholic beverages and three hours of golf within the March of Dimes Top Contender Virtual Tournament. Once two bays are reserved at a specific Topgolf location, single bays for 6 golfers may be added to the experience as availability allows.
**The deadline to reserve and pay for bays is Friday, September 30, 2022.
AVAILABILITY & CONFIRMATION:
Topgolf Fore Families events are based upon availability at the Topgolf location selected. Each week March of Dimes will confirm new Kappa Alpha Psi reservations with our national account manager. March of Dimes will connect with each chapter leader to either confirm payment if bays are available or select an alternate date or cancel the reservation if bays are not available.
TEE UP & HAVE FUN:
Arrive at your selected Topgolf location on Sunday, Oct. 9th at 1pm PT/4pm ET and enjoy a fun-filled afternoon with your brothers on-site and virtually from coast to coast!
AMBASSADOR FAMILY: Meet Kamekia, Swan and Koa
Kamekia went into labor at 22 weeks. Koa was born at 15.9 ounces, not even a pound. He battled many ups and downs, including NEC, during his six months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Given only a 5% chance to live, this brave little warrior is now one year old and thriving. Kamekia is committed to sharing Koa’s story to ensure more families get the support, resources, advocacy and access they need to ensure every baby gets a healthy start!
MISSION IMPACT
As a Topgolf Fore Families supporter, you will help strengthen all March of Dimes mission initiatives including the critical NICU Family Support® program. In partnership with hospitals across the country, this program educates NICU staff and empowers, educates and supports families through evidence-based programs and a variety of digital and in-person resources while babies are in the NICU and during their transition home. Our programs work with hospitals, NICUs and families to improve the NICU patient and family experience. Thank you for “teeing up” and making a difference "fore families" from coast to coast!
