Mahalo from Spare for Change
In March 2022, Spare for Change completed a unique fundraising event over five days on five islands called The Spare Aloha 500. The premise of this event was 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 had never been done in Hawaii. Our mission was for other PGA Sections to fundraise and execute their mission of growth through golf.
Spare for Change successfully raised $15,000 generated from the event benefiting 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.
This money was provided to the Aloha Section PGA in May 2022 at the Aloha Section PGA Classic Scramble at Mid-Pac Country Club on Oahu.
We wish the Aloha Section PGA the best with the use of this donation.
