Swing Strong, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Boerne, Texas, built around one mission: raising money and awareness for Parkinson’s disease through the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
It started personally. Co-founder Sean Jahr was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s at 38. Instead of stepping back, he and his family stepped up. What began in 2022 as a local golf event with a simple goal has grown into a meaningful charitable tradition in the Texas Hill Country, uniting golfers, music fans, sponsors, and neighbors around a cause that matters.
Every registration fee, every auction bid, every donation flows directly to Team Fox, MJFF’s grassroots fundraising program. No overhead held back. Just results.
In 2025, we raised an extraordinary $150,000; our largest contribution yet.
That’s what community looks like when it swings with purpose.
In December 2025, the Swing Strong community gathered to present a $150,000 check to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the culmination of a year of tournaments, auctions, sponsorships, and donations. Every dollar raised, every ticket sold, every bid placed made this moment possible. Help us raise the bar for 2026.
