OGGF Quarterly Report, July 2023

Thank You

Dear OGGF Community Member,

I am pleased to present you with the OGGF Quarterly Impact Report for the second quarter of 2023 Although Mother Nature provided another wet spring, we were able to introduce another inspiring group of young girls to the game of golf during our Spring Clinic Series

In April and May, the OGGF hosted forty-three girls at five Northern Ohio golf facilities where PGA & LPGA Professional instruction was provided. We are honored that 58 percent of the participants were new to the game and chose to start their journey in golf with us. We invited all of the participants to continue working on their golf skills this summer by participating in our Ongoing Instruction Program where the student pays $50 for four private lessons and the foundation supplements an additional $50.

It is hard to believe that we are only a month away from another OGGF High School Showcase, which will be held on July 31 at Avon Oaks Country Club We are thrilled that once again this year we will host a full field (108 girls representing 28 high schools) We hope you will please take a moment to review the enclosed Showcase Sponsor Form and consider making a donation today

Thank you for your continued support! It's only due to your generosity that the OGGF has been able to continue to positively impact young ladies across the state for two decades.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Lynne Plaisance
