MAKING A

2. As many fans and viewers know, the
PGA supports a plethora of charities
and worthwhile causes through their
players, who have the option of
playing for specific causes.
With that in mind, let us highlight the
various charities supported by the
PGA, as well as how they have been
making a major impact on our world:

3. GOLFERS
AGAINST
CANCER
This volunteer-run charitable
organization that dedicates its time to
organizing golf tournaments and hosting
dinners and other events. The proceeds
of all events are donated directly to
organizations that are researching cures
for various cancers.
Since its inception in 1997, Golfers
Against Cancer (GAC) has raised $23.9
million to fund over 100 specific, cutting-
edge research projects around the United
States.

4. WADSWORTH
GOLF
FOUNDATION
Since 1958, this 501(c)3 foundation has
been dedicated to improving
communities around the United States by
teaching citizens to embody the moral,
ethical, and cultural codes imposed by
the game of golf.
By promoting such behavior, the
Wadsworth Golf Foundation also aims to
teach its mentees how to judge others
more leniently, promote patience and
discipline, and even improve students’
personal integrity.

5. FRIENDS OF
GOLF
Since its inception in 1986, Friends of
Golf (FOG) has been working diligently to
provide underprivileged high school
students with the resources necessary to
play golf competitively.
This has entailed providing funds,
equipment, and other valuable resources
to students in southern California and,
now, around the country.
Just last year, FOG reached a milestone
of donating over $7 million to high
schools, colleges, foundations, and other
specialized golf programs to date.

6. GIVE
FOUNDATION
Founded in 2007, the GIVE Foundation
was formed with the intention of
providing a structured golf program for
injured or disabled veterans who are
patients at the Iowa City VA Health Care
System, as well as showing said veterans
how deeply their service is appreciated
throughout the community.
While this organization is certainly more
relevant on a local scale, it has made a
tremendous impact, as it provides a
method of enhancing veterans’ mental,
social, physical, and emotional well-being.
