Raising Funds and Awareness
Earlier this year, 12-year-old Emilia decided to fundraise to support the mission of The Skin Cancer Foundation to educate the public about the dangers of skin cancer. As a young golfer, Emilia spends a lot of time outdoors. She knows just how prone golfers can be to developing skin cancer since they are exposed to UV radiation from the sun frequently.
To begin her fundraising efforts, Emilia tapped into her golfing talents and sent a flyer to her friends and family asking them to pledge one dollar for every birdie (a score of one under par in golf) that she made during the year. Since she began fundraising, Emilia has received more than 27 donations totaling more than $3,500, and she is one of the promising junior golfers in North Carolina. Way to go, Emilia! Thank you for your support.
