Add Fun and Excitement to Your Outing While Raising More Money

With live scoring, introduce a new level of fun and excitement to your golf outing fundraisers. At any point, golfers can check the live leaderboard to see what it'll take to win or when it's safe to hit the beer cart a little harder.

Meanwhile, your organization can raise more money by upselling sponsors on scorecard logo placement and full-screen hole transition ads.

In addition, the master scorecard can calculate skin winners, including:

Charity & Fundraiser FAQ

How much sponsor revenue can a charity outing realistically generate with PlayThru?

It depends on your sponsor relationships and the size of your event, but PlayThru gives you 19 hole sponsor logo slots and 18 hole transition ad slots per event — 37 distinct sponsorable assets, each visible to every golfer during the round. Charity organizers tell us they sell hole sponsorships in the $100 to $1,000 range. A well-sold event can add five figures to the bottom line.

Can we use our charity's branding instead of PlayThru's?

Yes. The Custom Scorecard add-on ($35 per event, or included in the $99/month subscription) enables you to replace PlayThru branding with your organization's logo, brand colors, and background images on every hole. Sponsors see your nonprofit's identity, not ours.

Does PlayThru donate any of its revenue back to charity?

Yes. PlayThru has donated 10% or more of annual revenue to organizations using golf for fundraising every year since 2023. This is a deliberate part of how we run the company, not a one-time program.

Will PlayThru sponsor our event?

PlayThru does support and sponsor several golf outings throughout the year, which is mainly done with organizations and causes that we hold near and dear to our hearts. But, we are always open to supporting different causes if we can. Doesn't hurt to ask.

What if I have questions the day of the event?

PlayThru's support line is ready to help if something comes up. You can email support@golfplaythru.com directory or visit golfplaythru.com/support for answers to common questions.

"It was amazing how many used the mobile scorecard. I can't imagine doing another event without it."
