Academy Miniature Golf, which re-opened this past spring on April 27th and has to date attracted over 5000 customers, is commencing an ambitious benefit program headlining the Care & Share Food Bank. Each Sunday, Academy Mini Golf will discount their green fee $1.00 for a donation of a non-perishable food, toiletry or cleaning product from each customer. If a patron does not have a food donation Academy Mini Golf will donate $1.00 for each non-discounted adult fee directly to Care & Share.
Care And Share Day started of their new benefit program, in which they are actively partnering with other local charities and non-profit groups by donating $1.00 from non-discounted adult customers, Monday through Thursday evenings. Monday's will feature United Way Charities starting with the Girl Scouts of America. Tuesday's will be environmental groups' night, Wednesday's are slated for medical charities and Thursday's will be reserved for social service non-profits. Academy Mini Golf is going to rotate charities each week and continues to work out the details with each specific group while also seeking out more partners for their ambitious effort.
"On July 13th, the first Sunday of the program, we received over fifty pounds of food and will also be writing a check for $123.00 from the golf course to the Care and Share Food Bank", stated Bob Nemanich head of marketing at Academy Miniature Golf. "Each Sunday through the remainder of the summer Academy Mini Golf will be receiving food donations or donating a portion of its receipts to this worthy cause," continued Bob Nemanich.
Suzanne Lee Director of Communications/Marketing at Care and Share Food Bank, "stated that they were very thankful and excited about Academy Mini Golf's efforts." Food bank supplies are down 60% this month and if donations do not increase Care and Share will have to make cuts to those receiving food from the program.
Academy Miniature Golf is located at 1825 Dominion Way behind High Plains Church, just off North Academy Boulevard, about ½ mile south of the Woodman & Academy intersection between Dublin and Lehman Roads. Previously part of the Mountasia Family Entertainment Center, Academy Miniature Golf has two 18-hole championship-designed miniature golf courses accented by mature garden landscaping and prides itself on being a family entertainment value. On Sunday's it operates from Noon to 9 PM, offering the Care and Share program all day.
