Game On for LGBTQ+ Youth This June as Part of National Fundraiser for the It Gets Better Project

 Puttshack’s Atlanta and Dunwoody locations are going all in on pride, purpose, and play this June as part of a nationwide fundraiser benefiting LGBTQ+ youth. The tech-infused mini golf experience is inviting guests to party with a purpose all month long—complete with neon lights, good vibes, and a fundraiser supporting the It Gets Better Project, a nonprofit uplifting LGBTQ+ youth around the world.

From June 1 through 30, 20% of every 9-hole mini golf game booked through www.puttshack.com/pride will go directly to It Gets Better. Whether it’s a date night or a family-friendly outing, every swing supports a future where all young people feel seen, celebrated, and supported.

“We are excited to extend our partnership with It Gets Better, who shares our spirit of inclusion, support, and bringing people together,” says Susan Walmesley, Puttshack COO/CMO. “Our company purpose is to bring everyone in to play, and It Gets Better echoes this by creating welcoming spaces to connect, engage, and celebrate together, just like us.”

Last year, Puttshack launched its Piece of the Putt fundraising program, where a portion of gameplay can benefit an organization, in alignment with Pride Month. This program is part of the company’s Puttshack Gives Back initiative, which offers guests and team members various opportunities to support causes they care about.

“We’re grateful for partners like Puttshack who don’t just talk about inclusion, they live it. By creating fun, welcoming spaces where all individuals including LGBTQ+ youth can connect, engage, and celebrate, they help make belonging something everyone can experience,” says Ross von Metzke, It Gets Better Senior Director of Marketing and Communications.

Support for the LGBTQ+ community extends beyond Pride Month through ongoing partnerships, inclusive practices, and local engagement. The collaboration with the It Gets Better Project reflects a commitment to creating spaces where all individuals feel welcome, valued, and celebrated.

This initiative is part of Puttshack’s broader mission to Care Deeply—a core value that drives efforts to support guests, team members, and surrounding communities year-round.More information about charitable initiatives can be found at puttshack.com/charity. More information about charitable initiatives can be found at puttshack.com/charity. Puttshack Atlanta is located at 1115 Howell Mill Rd., and Puttshack Dunwoody is at 111 High Street, Suite 210. Stay connected on Instagram and TikTok at @puttshack.
