Charity
A season-long donation drive, and the creative ways members chip in.
Every season, the Roost sponsors at least one charity for a season-long donation drive. It sits alongside the golf rather than behind it — raising money for a good cause is written into our first governing principle, not bolted on at the end.
How members give
Roost members are encouraged to find creative ways to maximize what we hand over at the end of the year. The classic version is a season-long birdie or eagle challenge you set for yourself:
“I’ll donate $1 for every net birdie I make.”
Tie it to something you’d be doing anyway — muni rounds, match-play wins, a Two-Step ringer card — and the total takes care of itself. We’re always open to creative ideas, and we’d rather have ten people running small, silly challenges than one large cheque.
This season
Our charity is Wonders and Worries, which provides free professional support to children and teenagers during a parent’s serious illness.
Who we’ve supported
Past seasons have gone to:
- The Austin Firefighters Relief and Outreach Fund
- Wonders and Worries
Our charity doesn’t change every year — carrying the same cause across seasons is normal and deliberate — but we’re open to new suggestions at any time. If there’s an organization that matters to you, bring it to the Discord.
