Charity Golf Tournaments and Golf Tournament Planning

The Utah Junior Golf Association is dedicated to provide competitive opportunities for boys and girls in all age groups, to provide an environment conducive to improvement, to encourage excellence, and to promote friendship, sportsmanship and citizenship through the game of golf.

The Utah Junior Golf Association’s PRO (Provide Relief Opportunities) Grant program provides top tournament opportunities to young men and women regardless of financial resources. The UJGA believes the opportunity to enjoy tournament golf should not be limited to those who can afford to travel and play a statewide junior golf schedule. Therefore, the UJGA would like to offer financial assistance to those juniors who can compete at the state junior golf level, but are limited due to financial constraints.

Funds that are raised through this annual event are also used for golf course use fees not covered by tournament registration fees, individual touranament and year end awards, national tournament entry and travel fees, team uniforms and tournament supplies for the boys and girls enrolled in the UJGA program. We have many boys/girls that qualify for national tournament events but simply cannot afford to participate. UJGA through fundraising events helps to offset these costs so that they can participate and represent Utah at these events.

Utah Junior Golf Association is the future of Utah Golf. The UJGA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to experience the game of golf through competitive tournament play.

Your support is very much appreciated.

Gilda’s Club is a national organization started in honor of the late Gilda Radner from Saturday Night Live, by her husband Gene Wilder, cancer therapist Joanne Bull and Joel Siegel. It was Gilda’s wish that anyone dealing with cancer would be able to receive the kind of support she found during her treatment. Today, there are over thirty Gilda’s Clubs and fifty thousand members nationwide that offer free supoort for men, women and children living with any kind of cancer, along with their families and friends.

The 2010 Meijer Charity Classic Pro-Am will feature 21 professionals from the LPGA and Futures Tours. This event has been supported by past participants such as Nancy Lopez, Beth Daniel, Angela Sanford, Katherine Hull, Christina Kim and a local hero, Allison Fouch, to mention a few.

Our goal is simple….to raise money for Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids through the Meijer Charity Classic Pro-Am, and ultimately, to raise money for all the local cancer related charities through an LPGA Tour stop at the Highlands Golf Club of Grand Rapids.
