PGA REACH Michigan is the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and philanthropic arm of the Michigan PGA Section, one of the 41 Sections in the PGA of America. Our members from across the entire Michigan PGA Section are committed to serving our communities and growing the game of golf through our three pillars - Youth, Military, and Inclusion. The funds raised in this event will support PGA HOPE Michigan, which is the flagship military program and covers the military pillar of PGA REACH Michigan.

THE MILITARY PILLAR of PGA REACH Michigan is represented by the PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) program. PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans to enhance their physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being through a 6-week developmental curriculum taught by PGA Professionals that have been trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency.
