Foundation

PGA Reach Tri-State is the 501(c) 3 charitable foundation of the section. The PGA Reach Tri-State will focus on three key pillars to grow the game of golf throughout our section. These pillars will include Youth Golf, The PGA Hope Program, and Inclusion based programs to provide golf to all! The section’s junior golf program aligns well with the mission of the PGA Reach. The section’s PGA Junior League program has become a huge hit among the section facilities and has drawn interest from a wide variety of participants. Both new golfers and seasoned players have enjoyed competing. The section continues to see strong participation numbers in Drive, Chip, and Putt and looks forward to a strong 2022 qualifying season. Our junior tour, presented by Isaly’s, a Pittsburgh based food and ice cream retailer, has seen tremendous growth in new players and sold out every event on the 2021 tour. Our section also hosts a very strong Parent Junior Championship allowing families to enjoy time together. This year over 50 teams competed. Our PGA Hope Program, led by Ron Lucas, PGA, a four-time patriot award winner, has received praise at both the local and state level. Our program has allowed the veterans to share a common bond between the love of golf and the love for their country. The PGA Reach Tri-State looks to grow our game by working with various groups to develop new programs and services that bring golf to a wide variety of audiences throughout our section. We encourage your donation to our program to help grow the game of golf and allow access to everyone!
