As the 2009 Disc Golf Tour winds to a close we would like to update you on the 2nd year of the EDGE Tournament Charity Program.

We have surpassed last year's totals with flying colors thanks to our partner Tournament Directors with vision for the future of the sport and thanks to you, the players that support EDGE's link with these tournaments.

The 2009 EDGE TCP had 77 participating tournaments.
These tournaments raised over $16,000 of which we have granted out close to $8,000 for 2009. :D

We encourage you to help EDGE link with local tournaments in your area as we keep the momentum built thus far and head into the 2010 disc golf season. Ice Bowls, sanctioned and un-sanctioned tournaments or series, it doesn't matter. All areas of our nation need disc golf in schools and youth programs. Two-Thirds of the funds contributed stay right in the state of origin and help grow the sport within that state!
