PGA of America REACH Foundation, FY24 Impact Report

TCS New York City Marathon - Over the past fifty years, the TCS New York City Marathon has become one of the world’s most popular and largest marathons – boasting over 50,000 finishers annually. Since 2017, the REACH Foundation has teamed up with the New York Road Runners to welcome over 70 PGA of America Golf Professionals to raise support and awareness for the Foundation by running the five boroughs of New York City in the race of a lifetime. PGA of America Members have raised over $365,000 for the benefit of the REACH Foundation and its programs. PGA HOPE National Golf & Wellness Week - For thousands of Veterans, golf is being used as a way for them to find wellness, community and healing. PGA HOPE National & Wellness Week is a unique opportunity for these heroes who have graduated from a PGA HOPE program to take the next step in their journey and represent their community on a national level. In October, twenty PGA HOPE graduates gathered in Washington, D.C. to receive a toolkit and were empowered to foster the game of golf through PGA HOPE in their communities and PGA Sections. PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship - Following in PGA WORKS’s mission to bring the game to more communities, the PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship brings top athletes from HBCUs and Minority-Serving Institutions to compete at the highest level. In 2023 77% of PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship student-athletes identified as non-white. The Championship was founded in 1986 when HBCUs were not invited to participate in post-season championship golf. Today, the Championship’s 37-year vision remains strong: opening doors for athletes who are underrepresented in the game. PGA WORKS stands shoulder to shoulder with these athletes and future leaders – broadening their worldviews, creating career opportunities, and hosting them at the country’s leading Championship courses.
