The AJGA is proud to recognize the top fundraisers for “Playing
fore their Future.” A Leadership Links program that began this year, “Playing
fore their Future” raises money for the AJGA’s ACE Grant program and CureSearch
for Children’s Cancer, a program supported by the Nicklaus Children’s Health
Care Foundation that raises funds for research and development of childhood
cancer.
In its inaugural year, 119 juniors raised a total of $125,000. The
top eight fundraisers are invited to a VIP reception with Jack Nicklaus, in
conjunction with next month’s Polo Golf Junior Classic. The AJGA congratulates
the top 20 fundraisers, who showcased a dedication and determination to helping
others.
