Since we started PGA HOPE in 2017 we have supported just under 600 veterans, have 56 Professionals trained by a National PGA HOPE Instructor, and grown from 1 location to 12. We have seen tremendous growth with this program over the past few years and we don’t see that growth slowing down.
Our PGA REACH Middle Atlantic Board has made program growth a priority. For PGA REACH Middle Atlantic to support our local PGA HOPE Chapters the cost per participant for one session is around $200 and the total cost per session is around $5,000 based on the number of participants.
Donations and Sponsorships help pay our instructors, pay for tee gifts, and other fees for use of the facility and a celebration at the end of each session. Funding will also help us create post session opportunities and purchase larger equipment like Solo-Rider carts which are vital to be able to make this wonderful game accessible to anyone.
