The 50 in 50 to hit golf courses across the country to raise money and awareness for cancer prevention

50 in 50 ATLANTA, GA - The 50 in 50 will be touring America to raise funds and awareness for early detection of cancer by golfing at 50 golf courses in 50 states in 50 days.

Atlanta entrepreneur Bill Evans and PGA Golf Professional Craig Forney will begin their golf odyssey in June and run wild around the United States. Evans and Forney will golf on public golf courses while stopping off to meet with cancer survivors and visit cancer treatment and research centers. 

"We call it extreme fundraising because we are going to 50 golf courses in 50 states in only 50 days," said Evans.

The 50 in 50 will start in Vermont on June 9th and end 50 days later on July 22 in Hawaii. Along the way they will hit cities such as Philadelphia, Baltimore, Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Chicago, Kansas City and San Francisco all the while raising awareness for the early detection of breast, prostate and melanoma cancer.

A camera crew and production team will follow them and document the adventure. Weekly webcasts, a book and a documentary are all in the plans as these two warriors of the golf world head out to a golf course near you this summer for a great cause.
