l IN THE NEWS OB SPORTS GOLF & LEISURE x FALL 2016 x obsports.com O B Sports is partnering with the Movember Foundation by utilizing the game of golf to draw attention to important men's health initiatives. "There are roughly 19 million male golfers in the United States," said Marisa Fallone, Director of Marketing & Events for OB Sports. "Given our access to such a large male audience, golf is a great vehicle for us to share the message of men's heath." The Movember Foundation raises awareness of men's health issues by challenging men to grow moustaches during November or to make a com- mitment to get active. This year, 10 OB Sports courses will support the initiative by helping to raise funds through tournaments, contests and short-format skills challenges. "These events will be open to all golfers, from the most skilled to the novice," Fallone said. "They're meant to be competitive, but not the least bit intimidating." A portion of each green fee will be donated to Movember Foundation. This marks the second year of in- volvement for OB Sports, having raised more than $8,000 last year. "Because of our success with what we referred to as 'MoGolf' last year, we gained the attention of the Foun- dation," Fallone said. "And we have been working for the past nine months on various initiatives to expand on what we accomplished in 2015." > LEARN more about Movember and how you can participate.
