Funds raised will enable us to offer off-season, social HOPE gatherings to stay connected, new equipment for HOPE veterans (golf clubs), and smaller HOPE Chapters by professionals who can handle 4-8 veteran students vs. a full-blown program.

Supporting PGA HOPE

Veteran suicide is a major issue in the Veteran community, and statistics show 22 Veterans a day commit suicide. NENY PGA HOPE is working to change this statistic by utilizing the game of golf as a form of therapy.
Each PGA HOPE program requires $6,500-$8,500 in funding to operate the 5-7 week program.
We have huge aspirations to offer programming year round, grow our program chapters throughout the section geographically, grow participation #s in each, offer post-graduate programming, in addition to helping secure our veteran golfers with equipment and specialized/adaptive equipment needs.

Please contact us at 518-438-8645 about corporate partnership opportunities, giving charitable donations, volunteering or assisting us in awareness and reaching new veteran populations close to you.
