Barnum Museum Foundation Golf Marathon

The Barnum Museum Foundation is excited to announce our first-ever Golf Marathon fundraiser.

All 27 holes at the immaculate Racebrook Country Club will be open to a select group of 40 golfers from 8 am - 5 pm on Monday, September 29th. Play as much or as little as you’d like. Play for fun or organize matches with your friends. We’ll have plenty of prizes throughout the day.

Simply collect $500 in donations for the Barnum Museum Foundation and you can be one of the lucky 40 golfers to enjoy this classic CT course. You don’t have to stop at $500 either.

We’ll have premium prizes for those who raise additional funds for the Museum, including a brand new set of Calloway irons for the participant who raises the most for the event. Your donors can contribute through purchasing advertising in our program book, by charitable contribution directly to the Barnum Museum or by purchasing one of our event sponsorships. You can even have friends pledge to pay for every hole that you play.

Be creative. Be sure to check out our sponsorship opportunities fact sheet for many fundraising options. Registration is limited. Please sign up today....more info.
