PGA of America REACH Foundation, FY24 Impact Report

PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is helping build a community where Veterans can thrive through the game of golf. Thousands of Veterans and active duty military members are creating a newfound sense of belonging by using the therapeutic aspects that the game of golf provides. • PGA HOPE continues to be on the forefront of scalability – with a record breaking number of PGA of America Golf Professionals getting trained, there is so much room for growth with experts in the game of golf leading every step of the way. • Veterans who come to PGA HOPE represent a wide array of military branches, war theaters and generations. The number one goal is to bring these individuals together so they can feel like themselves.

• Through an MOU with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans are able to receive direct referrals to PGA HOPE as a form of therapy and wellness.
