ORLANDO, FL – Volvik USA, Inc. (volvik.com) – the innovative manufacturer of multilayer high-performance golf balls is collaborating with Ryan Rustand aka Coach Rusty on social media to raise awareness and donations specifically in the male dominated golf community. While over 70% of golfers are men, breast cancer affects men and women directly or indirectly, and research continues to be the key focus for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF).
As a popular trick shot artist and former golf instructor, Coach Rusty has taken his talents to the canvas by combining his love of golf and paint. Each of his one-of-a-kind masterpieces are adorned with his signature golf ball and crown.
The collaboration is a new take for Coach Rusty on creating his masterpiece. For every dollar raised, Coach Rusty will swing a paint-covered golf ball into the canvas. “I can already tell several of my friends are going to challenge me with $1,000 donations to see me sweat this out in 1,000 swings,” said Coach Rusty. At the end of October Volvik and Coach Rusty will auction the artwork, and all monies raised will go directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
For those interested in contributing to the campaign and the number of swings Coach Rusty will take, please donate at: https://give.bcrf.org/artbycoach
Additionally, everyone can follow along Coach Rusty’s progress, live streams and auction of his latest unique creation on Instagram @coach_rusty
