DURHAM – The Duke men's and women's golf programs continue to raise funds for the Duke Children's Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units and have accumulated $14,146.25 so far this season with more NCAA action to come over the next week.
The women's program registered 38 birdies and one eagle at the NCAA Columbus Regional this past week as the Blue Devils finished in a tie for second. Duke advanced to the NCAA Championship in Arizona, which will take place May 21-26.
The Duke men's program received its 26th NCAA postseason berth recently and will travel to Noblesville, Ind., to compete in the Noblesville Regional May 17-19.
Over the last four years, the program has now brought in $61,448.25 to help Duke Children's.
Those looking to support Duke's partnership with the Duke Children's can make pledges per birdie. Pledges will start at $0.50 and high pledge increments are welcome. If the Blue Devils register an eagle (counts as two birdies), albatross (three birdies) and hole-in-one (four birdies) they will count as stated.
The creation of the program was spearheaded by 2019 Duke graduate Virginia Elena Carta. A native of Udine, Italy, Carta was a four-time All-ACC selection and the 2016 NCAA Individual Champion. The 2016 WGCA All-America and Honda Award winner turned in a NCAA-record 16-under-par ledger of 272 as a rookie to register her first collegiate victory. She became one of only four Blue Devils to win both a NCAA Individual and team NCAA title.
Duke Children's is a 180-bed inpatient hospital within Duke University Hospital. The central outpatient clinic, the McGovern-Davison Children's Health Center, is a 66,000 square-foot facility that is adjacent to the hospital, and that combines medical and surgical specialty services in one colorful, child-focused location. Additionally, there are numerous Duke Children's primary care and specialty care clinics through North Carolina to care for the needs of children throughout the state. Duke Children's is one of the largest health care providers for children in the Southeast, and the only children's hospital in North Carolina to be ranked in all ten specialties by the U.S. News & World Report.
