It’s a special time to be a part of the Wisconsin Section of the PGA as we celebrate 100 years!
I’m asking for your support as I will play 100 holes of golf to help support two causes which are near and dear to me – the PGA and the MACC Fund.
Golf has had a major impact on my life. My Dad was an Evans Scholar recipient which allowed him to go to college on a caddie scholarship and now I am a PGA Professional. Golf has been good to our family and I love that I can now use the game to give back through supporting PGA REACH Wisconsin.
My Mom was a nurse at Children’s Hospital where she worked every day with kids who had cancer and it gave me an up-close and personal experience seeing just how devastating that is. I am grateful that I can use golf to help support the MACC Fund as they work to aid in finding a cure for childhood cancer.
WHAT: 100-Year Anniversary Celebration of the Wisconsin Section of the PGA
WHY: To celebrate the Wisconsin PGA's past 100 years, and to raise money to support PGA REACH Wisconsin and the different branches it supports -- youth, military, and inclusion. Through programs such as PGA HOPE, PGA Junior League, PGA WORKS and the PGA Junior Foundation Scholarship Program, we are able to impact lives everywhere through the game of golf.

The MACC Fund is a 501c3 who’s mission is to find a CURE for childhood cancer and related blood disorder by providing funding for research! Since inception, the MACC Fund has contributed nearly $80,000,000 to research and has seen overall cure rates rise from 20% in 1976, to just over 80% today! MACC Fund supported research is reviewed by a Scientific Advisory Board comprised of leading Doctors and Researchers throughout the country, and is conducted at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Children's Wisconsin, the UW Carbone Cancer Center, and the Marshfield Clinic. For more information, please visit www.maccfund.org. Together, we WILL find a CURE!
