Continuing to Lend a Helping Hand
AJGA ACE Grant continues to provide top-notch opportunities

By Kathryn Richardson
Development Coordinator

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce the 2006 Achieve Your Goals Campaign.  Each fall, we reflect on the year’s successes and strive to improve for the next season. 

In 2007, the AJGA will be committed to increasing support of theACE Grant program and maintaining affordable tournament fees in order to offer more opportunities for juniors to play golf at the highest level. The ACE Grant program helps juniors and their families attend national tournaments, providing funding for travel and tournament expenses.  Since the program’s start in 2003, the AJGA has awarded more than $629,000 to 122 juniors. In 2006 alone, more than $210,000 was awarded to 54 juniors.

The AJGA is constantly growing, and it is largely through private donations that we are able to create a positive, competitive experience for all our members. For 28 years, we have been dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspired to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.  The most significant achievement each year is the number of juniors that move on to join the more than 3,500 AJGA alumni playing NCAA golf.
