Case Study: St. Luke’s Health Foundation grows its 35th annual golf fundraiser with GolfStatus

St. Luke's Health Foundation Uses Technology to Grow Its 35th Annual Golf Fundraiser

St. Luke’s Health Foundation, the philanthropic arm of a children's hospital, faced the challenge of safely hosting its 35th annual golf fundraiser during the COVID-19 pandemic. They partnered with the vendor GolfStatus to transition their traditional one-day, in-person event into a monthlong virtual outing using its golf event management platform and live scoring technology.

GolfStatus provided a solution that allowed golfers to play at their convenience across multiple courses, with its app enabling easy live scoring. This virtual format significantly reduced overhead costs, expanded participation to new groups of players, and maintained sponsor engagement through digital exposure. The event successfully raised $110,000, netting proceeds on par with previous years despite the pandemic, and the foundation plans to use GolfStatus for future events.
