Builders, at play.
The Flagship: golf, pickleball, schmoozing · May
Tennis · Summer
There are more competitive sporting events in New York, and there are bigger fundraising events. The magic here is the combination: fun competition, real money for our impact partners, and an environment where everyone talks to everyone. It started with eight founders and a golf game in 2004.
Play well, do good

Why we play
Profit margin: 0.00%.
By design.
Everything left when the season closes goes to our impact partners. So far that has meant Code.org, Meals on Wheels, the American Cancer Society, Charity: Water, Venture for America, and more. This season’s impact partner is Sandy Hook Promise.

“For me, SAS events are all about the people. Darren does an incredible job of including talented and, most importantly, good people. Everyone I've met (literally everyone) has been positive, open and interesting. I have met many people who I now consider friends - and who are happy to jump in and help when I need advice, feedback or a connection.”

Since 2004, the whole idea
Play well,
do good.
