Fundraiser Profile
In October, I will be attempting to play as many holes of golf (the aim is 72 or greater) to raise money for the Georgia State Golf Association and their Youth on Course and Adaptive Golf Programs.
Please consider making a flat donation or per hole pledge to support these great programs that are striving to enrich the lives of the participants through the game of golf.
