M4Max2025 is preparing for takeoff.
Welcome aboard, and get ready to fly higher than ever before: this April, I anticipate the largest prize pool in M4Max history. There will be hundreds of winners and a first place prize worth tens of thousands of dollars. Plus, we’re raffling off two bucket-list experiences, including a PRIVATE JET TRIP TO THE RYDER CUP – more on that in a minute.
More importantly, the M4Max Challenge is on the brink of an amazing milestone. Provided everything goes as planned, we’re set to break $1 million in lifetime donations to help kids with Type 1 Diabetes.
Newbies, drop your email to join the flight list—no spam, just the “Official Invitation” to pick your teams in “The Masters Pool Unlike Any Other” by Monday, April 7th.
For now, please sit back and relax as we taxi to the runway. M4Max2025 will be wheels up soon.
Wait. What did you say about a private jet?
That’s right, Maverick. This year, if you donate an extra $25 toward our cause, you’ll be entered to win a once-in-a-lifetime golf experience. You and a friend will depart from Cleveland, OH, aboard a luxury private jet bound for Long Island, NY, site of the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. Once you arrive, you’ll be picked up and taken to Bethpage to attend tournament play for either Friday or Saturday’s Ryder Cup action*. You’ll return to Cleveland aboard the jet later that evening.
The best part? THERE WILL BE 2 RAFFLE WINNERS! Each winner will get to bring 1 friend, and each winner will receive $1,000 spending money for the trip (I assume on some sweet Ryder Cup swag and the rest on ridiculously overpriced Ryder Cup beers).
If you don’t live within an easy drive to Cleveland, or if you have no interest in the jet ride but would like to attend the Ryder Cup, fear not. You’ll still receive 2 Ryder Cup tickets for either Friday or Saturday, but I’ll double the spending money to $2,000 so you can arrange your own travel to/from the tournament.
Increase Your Odds of Winning
If you donate an extra $25, you’ll receive 1 chance to win, and $50 gives you 2 chances to win. HOWEVER, if you donate $100, you will receive 5 CHANCES TO WIN, and every incremental $100 donated gives you 5 more chances to win (for example, if you donate $500, you’ll have 25 chances to win the private jet trip).
How Do You Find Out You’ve Won?
I will hold a live drawing to determine the winners of the Pebble Beach and Ryder Cup experiences on Sunday, April 13th, on our Instagram site (@M4Max2025) during the final round of the 2025 Masters. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the tournament and be sure you’re following our Instagram.
*This experience is being made possible by some VERY generous friends of the M4Max Challenge who wish to remain anonymous. Weather permitting, the jet will leave Cleveland early in the morning and return later that evening. Transportation will be provided to/from the Long Island airport (TBD, depending on air traffic) and Bethpage. I am finalizing the specific day of Ryder Cup play that our winners will attend (either Friday or Saturday) and will communicate the final date soon.
Private Jets Not Your Thing? Cool, cool. How about a trip to Pebble Beach?
Like last year, we’re also raffling off a 3-night’s stay at an absolutely stunning home on Pebble Beach’s legendary 17 Mile Drive (seriously, click the link – the house is awesome). Comfortably sleeping 6, this piece of Pebble perfection sits across the street from the famed “Lone Cypress” tree and less than 1 mile from the first tee at Pebble Beach. Generously made possible by Blumaka, the most innovative insoles on the planet (and used by several big name athletes, including a number of players in this year’s Masters field), the 3-night stay will include $4,000 to be used any way you like during your trip.
Like the private jet experience, you must donate at least $25 extra to the cause, with $100 giving you 5 chances to win (and each incremental $100 donation giving 5 more chances).
Please note some date restrictions apply. The owners of the home will do their best to work with you to find a suitable date for your trip.

Seven Figures, Here We Come!
We’re on the precipice of an amazing milestone. This April, if all goes as planned, our “Masters Pool Unlike Any Other” will surpass $1 million in lifetime donations to help kids with Type 1 Diabetes. This achievement is only possible because of the support of so many awesome people, like you, who make up the M4Max community.
Annual Funds Given to Camp HO MITA KODA (CHMK) Via the M4MAX Challenge
The M4Max Challenge is now the largest annual fundraiser for Camp Ho Mita Koda, a special summer camp for kids with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised $825,235 giving over a thousand kids time together to grow in mind, body and spirit. This April, with your support, we’ll break the $1 million milestone. Let’s do it!
Are You A Financially Reckless Billionaire with a Heart of Gold?
Yes?! Great! You’ll be happy to know that 100% of the funds you donate beyond your entry fee are not only tax deductible, they go toward helping kids this summer. If you’ve got a spare million or so parked in an offshore bank, feel free to put it to good use here.
For everyone else, please know that even if you don’t find yourself in the M4Max winner’s circle, your participation helps provide critical funding to support Camp Ho Mita Koda. 1/3 of all entry fees and 100% of all “extra” donations DIRECTLY SUPPORT a variety of camp programs, including a Campership Program that allows kids from low-income families to attend CHMK. Without M4Max, many of these programs would not be possible.
The Path To Total Consciousness
If you help spread the word, and if you’re able to be as generous as ever, we’ll break every record and cross the million dollar milestone in lifetime donations to a very worthy cause.
Registration opens here on April 7th. See you soon!
