Met PGA Hope Helps Section Get Ready for Patriot Golf 2015 The emotions and importance of the work of Folds of Honor are as impactful today as they have ever been. This year we have had the incredible opportuni-ty to build a golf program for Veterans through our Met PGA HOPE. This is all part of The Patriot Golf Day effort by our professionals and a small gesture to thank those who have sacrificed their lives and/or limbs fighting for our free-

dom and safekeeping. We will have champions of Patriot Golf Day raising significant dollars but our goal is to get every PGA Professional to do their part and raise dollars and awareness at their facility. Any and every donation will make a difference to the Folds of Honor Foundation. You can “Answer the Call” – take a few minutes to check out what this wonderful charity is all about and how you can help! Click here for ways to promote or help raise funds for Patriot Golf Day at your facility. The Met PGA HOPE program involved 25 veterans from the West Point area and an incredible showing of 16 Met PGA Profes-sionals who took their time to launch this program and provide instruction and friendship to the willing and able vets. Click here to see a video that helps tell the very special story.

Raffle tickets have been mailed to every entrant and additional books of tickets can be re-quested by contacting Dan Kiley at dkiley@pgahq.com.

Assistants Championship Entry Can Be Attained with Conducting a Met PGA Junior Golf Fund-Raiser

For those assistants who are planning to conduct a fund-raiser at their club or course for Junior Golf, please remember that for every $1,000.00 raised, an assistant will get credit for the top tier of the Assistants Championship. We extend our thanks to Seawane and Round Hill for their programs that have gotten us off to a good start in 2015 and to Garden City Golf Club and Saint Andrew’s both also making their usual push. If you have questions or would like some marketing ideas feel free to call our office or anyone who has had success in the past. With the Assistants Championship coming soon and more fund-raisers on tap, we are excited about the prospects of again reaching our $100,000.00 goal in 2015. This year we have also established an initiative called The Birdie Challenge where members can pledge money for every birdie recorded on our Junior Tour. This is a very easy way to get your juniors and your club members involved at a very reasonable commitment level. Check this out by clicking here. Our thanks to everyone who gets behind our Junior Golf programs and oth-ers who are planning on staging an event to help us try to again top our $100,000.00 goal for 2015.
