How it all began
Luke is actually a lifetime soccer coach, both at the youth level and the collegiate level. Years ago, he identified a need to simply do fundraising that made a lot more sense for groups — in terms of retaining the money they were trying to raise in the first place!
While we did not invent the nature of the helicopter golf ball drop, it just became a thing that grew legs, with more and more people wanting to know how to do it. Eventually, we began setting things up for local charity golf outings. And before you know it, an idea was born.
Celebrity golf outing clients, youth sports organizations, booster clubs, nonprofits everywhere — all finding value in what it is that Ball Droppers helps to do.
Over the past fifteen years, we’ve helped organizations of every size turn a simple idea — a helicopter, thousands of numbered golf balls, and a target on the green — into some of the most memorable and profitable fundraisers they’ve ever run.
From school athletic programs to national charities, we’ve run more than 1,500 events and helped raise millions of dollars for causes that matter. Along the way, we learned exactly what makes a ball drop succeed — and we built our software to put that experience in every organizer’s hands.
Trusted by causes big and small
We’ve been proud to power ball drops for nationally recognized foundations and hometown fundraisers alike.
