Beginning June 9, 50 in 50 will be touring America to raise funds and awareness for early detection of cancer by playing golf at 50 golf courses in 50 states in 50 days.

"We call it extreme fundraising because we are going to 50 golf courses in 50 States in only 50 days," says co-creator Bill Evans. Evans and his friend, PGA professional Craig Forney, will spend most of June and July travelling around the United States, playing public golf courses while stopping off to meet with cancer survivors and visit cancer treatment and research centers.

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

A camera crew and production team will follow the men and document the adventure. Weekly webcasts, a book and a documentary are all planned as well. For more information or to find out when they'll be playing in your area visit http://www.the50in50.com.
