It’s easy to think it’s “just a golf event.”

But when you sign up to play, you’re showing up for someone who might be feeling overwhelmed, afraid, or completely alone.

Because of you:
💛 A young woman can see her baby for the first time on an ultrasound.
💛 A new dad can learn how to care for his child.
💛 A teen can get honest answers and support when they need it most.
The Golf Marathon isn’t just a fundraiser.
It’s a lifeline.

Your swing could help change someone’s story.

Life doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful.💛

Sometimes, it’s just a flutter on an ultrasound, a tiny hand reaching out, a quiet cry in the dark.

But every life, no matter how small, is full of purpose, full of promise.
Thank you for recognizing how precious it truly is.

Golf. Fundraise. Win prizes.
…and keep your emoji ball safe all day! 😅⛳

One of the most fun parts of the Golf Marathon is the Emoji Ball Challenge. Can you keep your special ball all 12 hours without losing it? It’s harder than it sounds—but way more fun than you’d think.

Golf with heart. Play with joy.
Make every swing count. 💛

🌳 A Tale of Two Trees 🌳
One mom used a hammock to teach her kids the beauty of stillness—and the habit of meeting with God.

In a world full of noise, what if we modeled peace instead of fast pace?

At Positive Options, we believe rhythms of rest can shape hearts for a lifetime.

A Tale of Two TreesI remember watching my teenage children bunk stacking their hammocks for the first time. My younger son was the acrobat and engineer while my daughter chose the perfect location as they co-labored on the project of creating space for a peaceful reset in the sway of a hammock. This...

Sometimes the smallest lives remind us of the biggest truths.✨

That love begins before we ever meet.
That every heartbeat matters.

And that the start of life is something sacred, full of hope, full of promise. 💛

Day 6 Recap — The Finish Line! 🎉🚴‍♀️
The Ohio East team crossed the finish line yesterday in Philadelphia, alongside two other incredible Biking for Babies teams — all wrapping up a powerful week of riding, witnessing, and offering up every mile for life.

It wasn’t easy — six days, hundreds of miles, steep climbs, gravel trails, and unpredictable weather — but it was joy-filled. One rider shared:
“So sad it’s over but feeling so blessed to have spent this week with my teammates. Thankful for friends and family who came out to the Celebration of Life!”

This week marks a tremendous accomplishment — not just for the riders, but also for the support crews who carried, fed, fixed, prayed for, and cheered them on every step of the way.

We’re also celebrating Karina, who represented Positive Options on this mission. She’s so close to reaching her fundraising goal! Will you consider helping her cross that finish line too? 💛

Day 5 Recap:
🚴‍♂️⛰️Friday felt like a Tour de France mountain stage — the longest and most intense ride yet, with brutal climbs, endless gravel, and even a rattlesnake sighting on the steepest hill! 🐍
From GPS-guided cornfields to lunch on the go, the team pushed through it all and made it to Mechanicsburg ahead of schedule. 💪
They’re tired but grateful — and ready for one final ride on Saturday. Thank you for your continued prayers and encouragement as they bring this mission to the finish line! 🙏

Day 4 Recap: What was supposed to be the “easy day” turned out to be anything but — full of hills, a gnarly descent into Altoona, and yes… 30 miles of gravel trail that no one was particularly thrilled about. 😅 Still, spirits remained high and the team kept pedaling through with determination (and even a little fun)!
It’s been a slower pace the last few days as fatigue sets in, there were no major issues today — a huge win. Please keep the biking for babies Ohio East team in your prayers as they prepare for their biggest day yet tomorrow! 💪🚴‍♂️🙏
