Drive For The Game

Drive For The Game

The Drive For The Game campaign is the primary fundraising initiative of the section and its PGA Professionals for the Connecticut Section PGA Golf Foundation, Inc. This program is vital to sustain the section’s PGA HOPE program benefiting Veterans, Junior Golf Association as well as dozens of other organizations which cannot operate without the Foundation’s financial support.

PGA PROFESSIONALS: As you plan and complete your fundraising initiatives, please report your dates, participants, and dollars raised to Lauren Rivard at lrivard@pgahq.com including the submission of your fundraising contract.

Since 2002, PGA Professionals of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts have been conducting various activities such as benefiting tournaments, golf marathons, instruction marathons, closest-to-the-hole contests, long-drive contests, and beat-the-pro contests, with all donations going to the Foundation. In 20 years, its collective efforts have succeeded in raising over $1,000,000 for junior golf, golf for people with disabilities, and diversity golf.
