The “Pledge Per” Campaign provides Braves fans with the opportunity to support individual sport programs. Fans can select a desired donation increment (i.e. 10 cents/yard, 50 cents/yard, $1/yard, etc.) and support their favorite team. Both Bradley Men’s & Women’s Golf will utilize the “pledge per yard” statistic during the Long Drive Competition with 100% of the proceeds directly supporting the respective golf programs. Both programs will hold their Long Drive event on Saturday, February 1st at 11:00 a.m. at the Bradley Indoor Golf Facility located at Shea Stadium. All Men’s & Women’s Golf student-athletes, in addition to “special guest” drivers, will get 10 swings to record their longest drive utilizing state-of-the-art Trackman technology. Their individual longest drive will then be utilized to determine a gift amount for their respective program. For example, a drive of 250 yards with a pledge of $0.10 per yard would equal a gift of $25.00.

“This is a great opportunity for all Braves Fans to support our young men and women on the golf course, in the classroom, and in the community,” said Sr. Assoc. AD for Development Lisa Cook. “We are excited for this opportunity for our fans to engage with our golf programs as they kick off the 2025 season.”
