Shankopotamus® is a relatively young denizen of the wild world of golf courses and charitable causes. Born of a belly laugh and an urge to do have fun doing good, the Shank joined the Winegard Foundation family in 2009. On a steady diet of great product design, charity events designed to almost run themselves, and a rapidly growing enthusiastic following among golfers and non-golfers everywhere, the Shankopotamus® brand is nearing full stature as a sustainable, multi-faceted national program of charitable giving.

Play it Fore-Ward has become the rallying cry of the lovable Shankopotamus®. Kids love him. Shoppers love him. Golfers with any sense of humor want him playing every round with them. He’s a loyal buddy willing to go above and beyond to make a real difference and keep you laughing while you help make the world a better place one shank shot at time.
