Our mission is to collaborate with golf courses to support Athletes Against Cancer. We aim to continue the legacy of Charlie Andromias, our late Chairman, who dedicated his life to helping children battling cancer. We strive to provide fun and exciting athletic programs featuring popular and professional heroes of today. These kids are our true heroes!
In the 90s, legends like Sam Snead, J.C. Snead, Lee Trevino, Jim Kaat, and Mike Schmidt were instrumental in helping this organization at Hobe Sound Golf Club, in Florida. For those who knew Charlie, he was member 1A, and to this day, the two roads leading into Hobe Sound are Plandome and Freeport. Charlie was the president, course record holder, and champion of Plandome, and we are proud that Plandome was the first club to launch an innovative label of "Golf Score Cards on Beers," a concept never done before. Charlie was also an esteemed member of Shinnecock.
Working with Jones Beach Brewing Company, known for their tide charts to help boater safety and bowling frames on beers, which all go towards non-profits to their partners, their brewery aligns perfectly with our mission.
Returning to Long Island, where Charlie was from, we have partnered with courses like Bellport Country Club, Peninsula Golf NY, Hempstead Golf & Country Club, Rockville Centre Links, Bethpage, and Huntington Crescent Club, and even expanded to Hampshire Country Club in Mamaroneck. Golf brands like Chippo and Bradley Putters have also impacted this effort to help children in need.
We are excited to have our first outing this year and donate to Sunrise Day Camp-Long Island, a place our friends Sunday Swim have contributed to, making this a full Long Island mission.
Thank you to all the friends, family, golfers, bowlers, and professionals who have supported this cause through breweries and other contributions. Though Charlie passed from cancer, his mission will always be at the forefront of this cause. https://www.thisissous.com/post/charlie-andromidas Limulus Polyphemus
