LPGA*USGA Girls Golf
KINONA is a proud sponsor of LPGA Girls Golf
Each year KINONA donates to LPGA*USGA Girls Golf, also known as Girls Golf. Girls Golf is a non-profit junior program whose mission is to inspire girls to dream big while learning the game of golf.
LPGA*USGA Girls Golf was founded in 1989 by Sandy LaBauve, a passionate LPGA Teaching Professional who wanted her daughter Lindy to learn to play golf with other girls. Girls Golf is the only national program of its kind that specializes in providing girl-friendly environments for juniors ages 6-17 to learn to play golf, while also building important life skills like self-esteem, confidence, and perseverance.
LPGA*USGA Girls Golf has since achieved a remarkable milestone, impacting one million girls through golf across 600+ sites worldwide. To celebrate this achievement, the program is launching its most ambitious fundraising campaign with the goal of reaching the next one million girls by 2030. The LPGA Foundation has committed to raising $13 million over the next seven years to reduce the financial barriers to golf and accelerate the program’s growth. The engagement effort is focused on three areas: expanding golf access and opportunity, enhancing program experience and increasing grant and scholarship support.
Funds raised by the One Million MORE Girls campaign will directly support bringing new golf sites to communities with little access, while deepening the impact of existing sites around the world. Investments will enhance curriculum, refresh golf supplies, and provide resources to girls with financial needs.
Through the power of golf, the LPGA Foundation seeks support to empower and inspire #OneMillionMORE girls. Together, our investments for the future can make impact in the lives of girls and young women on and off the golf course. Visit www.girlsgolf.org/give to support.
That’s why this partnership feels so right to both parties, and why you’ll surely see KINONA and Girls Golf finding opportunities to encourage more girls - and women - to get out on the green and have a good time.
