The AJGA and Imperial have partnered with renowned artists for Imperial's first Tour Visor Fundraiser. The auction fundraiser began on December 9 and will run through Sunday, December 15 on imperialsports.com , with all proceeds benefitting the partner non-profit organizations.

Imperial has teamed up with the AJGA and other youth golf organizations including: Evans Scholars Foundation, The First Green, LPGA*USGA Girls Golf, PGA Reach, Tee It Up for the Troops and Youth on Course for the first Tour Visor Fundraiser. A single limited-edition Tour Visor was created to represent the AJGA mission, with 100 percent of proceeds going to the AJGA's Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant.

“The Tour Visor Fundraiser was an incredibly rewarding process of bringing together the non-profit organizations we currently support with renowned artists who can help bring their stories to life,” said David Shaffer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Imperial. “These Tour Visors are truly one of a kind and the auction winners for each visor will have an artistic piece that gives back to these wonderful organizations.”

Each organization was partnered with an artist to create a single Tour Visor that epitomizes the mission, vision and values of the respective organization. A variety of artistic mediums was used, from painting and photography to graphic design. Imperial collaborated with Lee Wybranski, Dave Baysden and Seth McWhorter to bring their visions to life.

Below are images of the limited-edition AJGA Tour Visor™. Visit imperialsports.com from December 9-15 to help support the ACE Grant by placing a bid on the hat.
