Paul McBeth Foundation urges disc golfers to join Throw For More
Show up on June 20, log a round, and UDisc turns every round into 10 cents for disc golf access. Throw For More aims for 200,000 rounds and prizes for top fundraisers.
On June 20, any disc golfer can turn a normal round into a measurable push for the sport’s growth. Throw For More is free, open to every skill level, and every round logged in UDisc will trigger a 10-cent donation as the Paul McBeth Foundation tries to turn one day of play into real money for underserved communities.
That low-barrier setup is the whole point. The fundraiser borrows the playbook of walk-a-thons and endurance challenges, where participants gather pledges per hole or take flat donations, but it asks for something disc golfers already do well: play. The PDGA backed the effort in a June 12 piece, and the foundation’s pitch is simple enough for a league card, a local club, or a tournament director to act on without needing a major production. Prizes will go to top individual fundraisers, clubs and tournament directors, which gives the event a competitive edge without turning it into a paywall.
Paul McBeth founded the foundation in 2020, and the organization says its mission is to build sustainable disc golf experiences in underserved communities around the world. Its footprint already stretches past the fundraiser itself. The foundation says it has installed more than 354 holes across 17 countries, a number that makes this look less like a one-day charity drive and more like a distribution system for new courses, new players and new entry points into the sport.
The scale from 2025 shows why the June 20 target matters. The foundation says last year’s Throw For More logged about 124,000 rounds worldwide and raised roughly $70,000. More than 84,000 unique UDisc users recorded rounds that day across more than 8,500 courses, and the standing single-day record sits just shy of 125,000 rounds. The foundation wants to blow past that mark this year with a target of more than 200,000 rounds and another $70,000 for the same global mission.
That money has already been tied to tangible work. The 2025 campaign helped support a project in Rwanda and the first African Disc Golf Summit, while PDGA coverage said nearly 700 players had already raised more than $20,000 by mid-September 2025. The 2026 push carries that momentum into the Dominican Republic, where the first permanent course has already been installed, and into Jamaica, where plans call for a course in a deaf village and school. In a sport that still grows one basket, one tee pad and one new player at a time, Throw For More gives every round a job to do.
