The Colorado Golf Foundation, the Colorado PGA Golf in Schools Program and the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame are among the 25 organizations that will receive donations from the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame’s 2015 events, it was announced on Wednesday.
The Hall of Fame, founded in 1964, designated a total of $200,000 — proceeds from its annual induction and awards banquet, Colorado state high school football “Championship Saturday”, and the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame Golf Classic.
The donations announced Wednesday bring the amount of cash and in-kind donations the CSHOF has made to youth sports programs and other sports organizations in Colorado to more than $1 million over the past 11 years.
“All of these organizations meet our mission of helping youth sports, education, and youth of color in Colorado, and we are happy that we can impact so many worthy programs,” said Tom Lawrence, president and CEO of the Hall of Fame. “Our goal was to have an impact on as many youth sports groups as we could, to further the goal of the Hall of Fame in improving youth sports and education in our state.”
Lawrence is a former president of the CGA.
This latest set of donations are made in partnership with Colorado Sports Hall of Fame sponsors Gatorade, King Soopers/City Market, the Denver Broncos, Sports Authority, Wells Fargo, Century Link, and El Pomar Foundation.
