About the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund

Families tackling childhood cancer face the unthinkable. The fear of losing a child, the stress of caring for a sick child, and the trauma that fighting cancer inflicts on immediate and extended families. Add mounting medical expenses to this fear and stress; it’s a situation no family wants to experience.

The Jay Fund has made it it's mission to BE THERE for families. From paying household bills to financial planning to simply making a child’s life brighter, the Jay Fund is here for parents so they can BE THERE for their child.

About FootGolf

FootGolf is a precision sport, a combination of the popular sports of soccer and golf, being more closely related to golf. The rules largely correspond to the rules of golf and players kick a regulation #5 soccer ball at a golf course facility on shortened holes with 21-inch diameter cups in as few shots as possible.

FootGolf is played on golf courses only. it is necessary to have the golf component to maintain the quality of the course. Bunkers, hazards and golf course particularities help to improve the game.

The ball must be a soccer ball #5. No rubber ball or any other than a regulation #5 soccer ball, similar to FIFA Approved.
