REPORT impact 2024
FOUNDER’S ADDRESS
At A Perfect Swing, we believe golf is more than a game—it is a platform for personal growth, community building, and lifelong success. Our mission has always been to create a welcoming community of golfers from all walks of life while providing youth with opportunities to develop their skills on and off the course. 2024 has been a year of remarkable progress, and we are excited to share our achievements with you.
As we reflect on this past year, we are immensely proud of the strides we’ve made in creating an inclusive golf environment and empowering the next generation of players. With your support, we continue to grow our programs, mentor young players, and foster a love for the game that will serve our members well into the future.
Thank you for being a part of our journey
STORY our
Our Mission Our purpose
A Perfect Swing, Inc., through A Perfect Swing Golf Association and A Perfect Swing Foundation, helps golfers find a community that feels like family and together, prepares the next generation of young players for success on and off the golf course. Many youths are prohibited from playing high impact school sports because of mild disabilities, injuries, or are from underserved communities. Playing sports is a huge morale booster and exercise benefit. The Foundation looks to introduce youth to the game of golf as a low impact alternative sport, while providing workshops and events to enhance their leadership, communication, and networking skills.
The Foundation believes in the transformative power of mentorship, volunteering, and positive role modeling in shaping young golfers' lives. Just as a swing improves with guidance, so do our youth with support from a caring community. Through shared experiences on the greens, our dedicated mentors and volunteers uplift and empower the next generation of golfers. In the foundation’s community, wisdom is shared over birdies and setbacks, perseverance is honed through bunkers and fairways, and life skills flourish with the camaraderie of the course. Together, we create not only skilled golfers but also confident youth ready to conquer challenges beyond golf.
