COMMUNITY AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS
All proceeds from the raffle benefit the CGA’s Community & Wellness Programs. This program builds partnerships with community-based organizations and schools to put clubs into the hand of those who may not otherwise have the chance to benefit from all this great game has to offer. This Fall, the CGA visited Rock Canyon High School, Side Creek Elementary, and McAuliffe Manual Middle School as part of the golf in schools program. Additionally, our community programs benefit partners such as Boy Scouts, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Special Olympics, and Semper Fi. All ticket purchases helped us to expand our reach and educate on the principles of competition, ethics and etiquette.
