Join us in supporting the PGA National Day of HOPE campaign. Funds raised will benefit the Colorado PGA Section with every dollar raised matched by PGA REACH National.

You, the PGA professionals across the nation are critical to introducing and teaching the game of golf to Veterans across the country, we are creating lifelong players, we are saving lives – the mission of PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is to do just this and use golf as a way to enhance Veterans' physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being.

As the 2022 PGA National Day of HOPE Campaign Chair, we're happy to share that the campaign officially starts today and will run through Veteran's Day (November 11). As strong advocates of our Veteran community, we support our troops who are actively serving and those transitioning back to everyday life in the U.S. through PGA HOPE.

This transformational program, led by our PGA Professionals, will serve 7,500 Veterans in 2022 and 30,000 annually by 2026. For as little as $10, you can enable a Veteran's life-changing experience through PGA HOPE. Join us in giving with a purpose to support these ambitious goals so we can continue transforming the lives of our nation's heroes.
