Mark Mullery Jr’s Golf Campaign
Donation protected
My name is Mark Mullery, Jr. I am a 23yr. old professional golfer with cystic fibrosis who is trying to fulfill my dream of making it on the PGA tour. In order to do this, I need more exposure in events (like the Swing Thought Tour events, tour qualifiers, etc.). Graduating from the Golf Academy of America and being employed as an assistant golf professional at Barefoot Resort in Myrtle Beach has given me the background to get started in my career in the golf industry, but my dream is to play professional golf as a career.
Having cystic fibrosis has actually been a blessing to me in a way. It has given me the determination and drive to not let anything stop me from pursuing my dream. Having to fight and work harder than many has made me into the responsible go-getter that I am today. We all face ups and downs, but I have learned to persevere through difficult times and will continue to do so in attempting to go after my vision.
Before becoming a professional, I had won four tournaments on the Golf Week Amateur Tour and was nominated as "Player of the Year". For the past three years, I have been playing in professional tournaments. Having gained this experience, I believe I am at a point where I can try to make my dream a reality; however, I don't have the funding needed to do so. Due to COVID, I have been out of work for the past 5 months and am unable to return to work because of my health condition and the risks involved. On a positive note, this time off of work has allowed me to devote even more time in practicing and getting ready for my future career.
I am hoping to raise enough money to help cover the extremely expensive entry fees for the types of tournaments I need to play in to get recognized. Not only that, but I am also hoping to raise enough money to help cover the cost of travel and hotel accommodations associated with these tournaments. The entry fees for the tournaments I am looking to enter range from $800-$1100 each.
If at all possible, would you help to support me in moving forward with my dream, playing golf as a full-time occupation? Any donations would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you, in advance, for your generosity
