We were thrilled to be among the beneficiaries of this year’s PGA Tour Championship at East Lake during the last week of August. Since 2004, East Lake Golf Club has hosted this exciting event. Each year, the top Golfers from around the world compete!
In March, the TOUR championship announced the creation of the HOPE shot Scholarship. It was part of a record $3.7 million charitable donation that was generated last year. The PGA Tour says, “The TOUR Championship, with the support of Proud Partners Coca-Cola and Southern Company, has raised more than $42 million for local nonprofits since the event was first staged at East Lake Golf Club in 1998, including its five charitable beneficiaries: East Lake Foundation, Focused Community Strategies, Grove Park Foundation, Purpose Built Schools Atlanta and First Tee – Metro Atlanta.”
We are beyond grateful for this strategic partnership and for the generosity of the PGA TOUR Championship. We congratulate all of the competitors and especially Rory McIlroy, who won this year’s FedEx Cup!
