It's Time To Change

DO SOMETHING NEW


Beyond the Greens...

 

It’s time to move beyond the greens and create experiences that invite everyone - not just the players with memberships and connections.

 

Golf tournaments have long been the go-to for corporate fundraising — but they’re often limited to a select few.
The same foursomes. The same conversations. The same small circle of participants.

 

If your goal is broader visibility, community engagement, and real connection, it’s time to update your playbook.

 

Run It Back Powered Tournaments bring the same prestige and competition of golf — but with accessibility, diversity, and energy that everyone can be part of.


Your supporters won’t just sponsor a hole -they’ll fill the courts, the stands, and the community conversation.


Beyond the Ballroom...

 

It’s time to move beyond the ballroom and create experiences that connect everyone - not just your donor list.

 

Galas are beautiful - but often limited. The same faces. The same format. The same polite applause.


If your goal is community connection, visibility, and growth, it’s time to rethink what engagement looks like.

 

Your supporters want to do more than attend. They want to participate.

 

Run It Back Powered Tournaments transform fundraising into an experience.

 

Bring together people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities in a way no ballroom ever could.


Beyond the Finish Line...

 

It’s time to move beyond the finish line and create experiences that connect people with each other - not just the cause.

 

Fun runs and 5Ks have done great work building awareness - but participation fades once the race ends.


There’s no central gathering, no sustained energy, and no shared experience beyond the route.

 

If your goal is lasting visibility, deeper community connection, and memorable engagement, there’s a better way.

 

Run It Back Powered Tournaments keep everyone together — sponsors, players, and spectators — creating all-day impact, energy, and interaction.


Your supporters won’t just move - they’ll belong.
