No.19 Virginia Women’s Golf to Compete at Stanford Intercollegiate with Fundraising Focus
STANFORD,CA – The No. 19 University of Virginia women’s golf team is set to compete at the stanford intercollegiate tournament this weekend, but the event carries meaning beyond the fairway. This year’s competition is dedicated to Northwestern University head coach Emily Fletcher, a 15-year breast cancer survivor and 2023 NCAA champion.
Funds generated during the tournament will directly benefit Dr. Jennifer Caswell-Jin, an oncologist at Stanford, in her pioneering research toward developing a breast cancer vaccine. Supporters are encouraged to participate by pledging a donation for each birdie recorded by their favorite team-or the entire field-with 724 birdies tallied across all teams during the 2024 event and an average of 38 birdies per team. individuals interested in contributing to this vital cause and learning more about Coach Fletcher’s story can find additional information and make pledges at https://app.99pledges.com/fund/2025playforher?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaeaPLNUVKfRVjV3jUoqrVp7R8_vFEx2aPXvTnBc0fCFUNIsXlVG7TDiZ3SJaw_aem_ucxRFf6dld7nJwyJf7q1fA.
