Disc golfers worldwide invited to join June 20 play day

The Paul McBeth Foundation and UDisc are urging players everywhere to take part in Throw For More on June 20, with fundraising aimed at expanding disc golf in underserved communities. The event is free, global and built to turn recorded rounds into donations as organizers chase a new single-day participation record. Why it matters: - Throw For More is designed to turn a single day of play into funding for new disc golf projects in communities with limited access to the sport. - UDisc donations tied to recorded rounds could help the campaign scale beyond individual fundraising and into broad community participation. - The event is also a public test of whether disc golf can mobilize enough players to set a new single-day activity record. What happened: - The Paul McBeth Foundation and UDisc invited disc golfers worldwide to play on Saturday, June 20, through the Throw For More campaign. - Participation is free and open to anyone. - Players can sign up at Throw For More , create a fundraising page, invite supporters and play as many holes as possible. - As of June 17, more than 750 players had registered and more than $42,000 had been raised. The details: - UDisc will donate $0.10 to the Paul McBeth Foundation for every disc golf round recorded in the app on June 20. - Organizers are targeting 200,000 recorded rounds in one day. - That goal would top UDisc’s current single-day record of 124,425 rounds. - The Paul McBeth Foundation said funds from Throw For More will support six project efforts in 2026 across Africa, South America, Europe and Central America. - In 2025, Throw For More supported new course installations in Poland, Ukraine, Kodiak, Alaska and Rwanda. - The 2025 campaign also helped support the first African Disc Golf Summit. - Players can also take part in Last Card Standing, a 24-hour challenge that asks participants to play 240 holes and raise at least $240. Between the lines: - The campaign blends charity fundraising with a measurable participation goal, which gives disc golf a simple public scoreboard. - The structure rewards both casual players and heavy users, which could widen participation beyond traditional donors. - By linking donations to app-recorded rounds, UDisc and the Paul McBeth Foundation are making everyday play the main engine of the campaign. - Zachary Smith, executive director of the Paul McBeth Foundation, said the effort is meant to help create access for people who have never had the sport available to them. What’s next: - Organizers are asking players to sign up, make a plan to play on June 20, record every round on UDisc and share the campaign with friends, family and local clubs. - Players are being encouraged to play at least one round, organize a meetup or introduce someone new to the sport. - The campaign will track whether June 20 can become a new benchmark for disc golf participation and fundraising. The bottom line: - On June 20, every recorded round can help fund new courses, equipment and opportunities in underserved communities while pushing disc golf toward a new participation record.
