Running for PGA REACH in the city that never sleeps.
This year's TCS New York City Marathon was about more than just personal records and fitness goals.
For the 12 PGA Professionals in the field the cause they were running for was particularly close to home. Their cause was PGA REACH, the 501(c)3 charitable foundation of the PGA of America. PGA REACH's mission is to positively impact the lives of youth, military, and diverse populations by enabling access to PGA Professionals, PGA Sections and the game of golf.
The original fundraising goal set by the 12 Members was $32,500 and donations are continuing through Nov. 14, 2021.
