Overview

Mission

Our mission is to render support and provide assistance to children in need and their families through the means of charitable events. The association conducts fundraising events throughout the year, which are critical to supporting our mission of helping needy children and their families around the country. Our most popular fundraiser is the pga tour wives golf classic. This is a nine-hole tournament where our members compete in a friendly competition, while their pga tour husbands or significant others serve as their caddies. The inaugural pga tour wives golf classic was hosted in 1987 and continues to be a significant source of charitable dollars.
