At the age of 9, Alexander Kaufman lived in Florida and wanted to start a charity golf tournament with his friends. Along with Graden Lomax and Miles Russell, they started the Florida Sunshine Cup to help children in need. This AJGA sponsored golf charity event has raised nearly $3000,000 since its 2018 inception and over $111,000 in 2022 alone. Even Tiger Woods’ son Charlie plays in the charity golf tournament!

While Lomax and Russell continue the Florida Sunshine Cup, Alexander moved to Arizona in 2019. Now 14 and a freshman at Rancho Solano Preparatory School, in Scottsdale, he continues to play golf for charity and was invited in 2022 to play in the first AJGA Arizona Cactus Cup. This golf charity raised $35,000 in its first year. Kaufman has set his sights on raising even more money for charity in the years to come.
