TOUR Wives launch 'Giving Through Golf'
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- The PGA TOUR Wives Association will launch its "Giving Through Golf" fundraising initiative at the MCI Heritage at the Sea Pines Resort at Harbour Town Golf Links. The PGA TOUR Wives Association is selling multi-colored wristbands for $1 each to generate funds to support various charities. The wristbands will be sold at all concession areas during the tournament from April 11-17. The wristbands come in two styles: multi-colored and a pink/green combination. "We specifically wanted the wristbands to be multi-colored to represent the variety of charities we support in communities where our husbands compete," said Dory Faxon, president of the TOUR Wives Association. "The funds generated from wristband sales will be used to support charities that provide services to children and their families." Look for the wristbands to be available at many future PGA TOUR tournaments and at a soon to be announced website. The PGA TOUR Wives Association began in 1988 with the mission to support children and their families through charitable events and has raised more than $2 million. The PGA TOUR Wives Association doesn't just stop at fundraising, though. Members often visit charities in the communities where PGA TOUR events are held and do everything from reading to children to helping clean cabinets and stock shelves.
