Aloha Kakou,
The last two years, our world has changed. Everyone has been affected. The Aloha Section PGA has done a remarkable job keeping the doors of golf open in Hawaii since March 2020. Now, the Aloha Section PGA needs your help.
We are conducting a unique fundraising event March 21 – 25, 2022 over five days on five islands called The Spare Aloha 500. The premise of this event is to play 100 holes each day for five consecutive days to raise money through donations per hole played and/or a flat donation based on completion of the fundraiser. To our knowledge, an event like this has never been done in Hawaii or the United States. We feel it could be a blueprint for other PGA Sections to fundraise and execute their mission of growth through golf.
The money generated from this event will benefit the Aloha Section PGA foundation, a 501 (c) 3, that supports our PGA members and associate across 85 courses around the state of Hawaii. The Aloha Section PGA provides education through our teaching & coaching summit, island networking for career development, junior scholarships, and support to our PGA office to assist our Executive Director, Wes Wailehua, execute the goals of the foundation.
We thank you in advance for your precious time and consideration of what the Aloha Section PGA is trying to do. We look forward to building a relationship with you for the future. Please let us know how our PGA professionals across the state may be a resource to you so we may continue a cooperative synergy. If you have any questions, please call me at: 808.298.8012 or email me at: david@spareforchange.org
