LINKS_STRONG INC. (formerly LINKS_STRONG LLC) was founded by Joshua Stangl in 2018, approximately 5 years after his cancer diagnosis and treatment.  You can read about his 10+ year journey in his own words here.

Prior to founding LINKS_STRONG INC. Josh combined his life-long love of the game of golf and his newly‑found passion for fundraising to raise just under $30,000 for cancer research via annual golf-a-thons from 2014 through 2018.  Details and pictures from these events can be found here.

LINKS_STRONG INC. is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (EIN: 83-1845493).
