DENVER — GOLFTEC is proud to announce that its annual DRIVE FOR HOPE campaign has raised $100,000 for PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere). This year’s campaign included a combination of donations through a public auction, contributions from students, and GOLFTEC’s cash donation.
From Oct. 15 through Nov. 11, any student who donated $50 or more would receive a free GOLFTEC lesson. The funds raised help support programs aimed at improving the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of veterans and active-duty military members.
PGA HOPE was designed to introduce golf to Veterans and Active-Duty Military personnel to enhance their physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. PGA REACH, PGA HOPE, and GOLFTEC’s Drive For HOPE aspire to create a physically and emotionally healthier Veteran community through a six-—to eight-week curriculum led by PGA Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency.
Throughout the month-long campaign, many students chose to take lessons specifically to support the cause, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the generosity of the GOLFTEC community.
Drive For HOPE is part of GOLFTEC Cares, a charitable initiative to unite communities through golf and drive the game towards greater accessibility, diversity, and long-lasting charitable impact.
With an annual charitable giving of over $2 million, GOLFTEC aims for an even more significant impact through 2025 and beyond.
