October 2024 – PopStroke, the leading mini-golf and entertainment brand, is proud to announce its continued partnership with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund for its third annual October Breast Cancer Awareness Month Initiative.
Throughout the month of October, all PopStroke locations will donate $1 to the Jimmy Fund for every round of golf sold to support breast cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber. Guests can get involved in two additional ways: by rounding up purchases or by buying Pink TaylorMade Tour Stripe Balls. Every extra cent and all net proceeds from ball sales will directly benefit Dana-Farber's breast cancer patients and families.
PopStroke Cares: Making a Difference One Putt at a Time
PopStroke Cares, the philanthropic arm of PopStroke, is committed to giving back and supporting local communities through partnerships with organizations whose missions align with the company's core values. This foundation reflects PopStroke's dedication to creating meaningful change, making a positive impact, and fostering a sense of community while bringing people together for fun and a shared purpose.
PopStroke has raised more than $100,000 to date for Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. This October, they aim to raise even more funds to support Dana-Farber's lifesaving mission to defy cancer.
"Our partnership with Dana-Farber is deeply personal for our PopStroke family," said Greg Bartoli, Founder and CEO of PopStroke. "My family, like so many others, has been impacted by breast cancer, and we are deeply aware of the challenges this disease presents to both the patient and their family members. We are committed to supporting Dana Farber as we work towards a future in which women no longer have to encounter this terrible disease. PopStroke is grateful to be in a position where we can make a difference through our growing network of venues and generous guests."
