Northern Ohio PGA Foundation Awards Over $25,000 in Grants

Thanks to events like the Ohio Open Pro-Am and Smucker's Birdies & Charity, the Northern Ohio PGA was able to award six grants to deserving charities in 2022. These charities help to positively impact individuals in Northern Ohio through the game of golf from providing golf lessons at a discounted rate (OGGF), allowing people to rehabilitate injuries from TBI to Parkinson's Disease through golf (The Turn and Cleveland-Clinic Akron General Challenge Golf), giving golf instruction to Veterans (PGA HOPE: Clearview), and giving under-privileged children food and bathroom essentials.

“There were three things that I enjoyed the most about instructing our PGA HOPE program at The Turn. The first was being able to introduce golf to a group of amazing people who could benefit from all that the game can offer. The second was seeing and experiencing the fellowship amongst the veterans and how much they enjoyed and supported each other. The third was seeing each and every veteran experience improvement and some level of success on the golf course. We cannot wait to host again this year!”
