CONNECT 2.0 AT TOPGOLF

Over 100 Chapter supporters, staff, board members and students attended our Connect 2.0 event at TopGolf Pompano.  We kicked off the evening with students from the Boys & Girls Club Thomas D. Stephanis Unit that enjoyed a golf session with Coaches Robert Ferzoco and Chris Cupp, PGA for a putting, full-swing and life skills lesson.

Our guests also enjoyed Topgolf bay time in addition to drinks, hors d’oeuvres and a fun silent auction and 50/50 raffle.

Thank you to our sponsors who ensured the event was a tremendous success:

THANK YOU JUNIOR ROTC VOLUNTEERS

When we needed volunteers, the Junior ROTC students at Deerfield Beach High School stepped up to the plate.

These students showcased their dedication and community spirit by volunteering at the My Happy Golf Tournament held at Deer Creek Golf Course. Their exemplary conduct and enthusiastic participation not only contributed to the smooth running of the event but also highlighted the positive impact of their training.

FUN WITH NICK’S GOLF

NICK’s Golf allows children who are undergoing chemotherapy to have something fun to look forward to by enrolling them in a free golf program through The Chiera Family Foundation in partnership with our Chapter. The Chiera Family Foundation helps support four different programs for kids and young adults who are battling cancer. NICK’s Golf allows the patient and their siblings and friends to join them for the four-weeks of golf sessions. For some of these children who are battling cancer, it is the first time in a while to have some fun with their siblings or friends. Being outdoors also gives the parents a break from the grind of hospital visits.

Thank you to Topgolf Pompano for donating the hitting bays and breakfast for all the participants and their families.

Special thanks to Lou Chiera; President Winner’s Award Group and Chapter Director.

Founded in memory of Lou’s father, Nicholas Chiera, the Chiera Family Foundation has helped kids who are battling cancer have fun for 28 years.  

FAMILY GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

PGA Family Golf held a Season Ending Family Team Golf Tournament where our PGA Jr. League students could play golf with their loved ones. Our students participated in a fun-filled day with their families demonstrating their golf skills.

LION STAR ACADEMY

We recently concluded our spring and summer special needs golf program with Lion Star Academy. Sixteen students participated for an hour during each class throughout the school year and through June.

Thank you to Director Lisa Bennett and the entire staff and volunteers for making this possible.

Special thank you My Happy Golf Foundation for providing the shirts for the students and staff.

GOLDEN GATE AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM

Summer camp is in full swing in Treasure Coast. Recently, the students at Golden Gate Alternative Afterschool Program (GAAP) attended a field trip to Sailfish Sands Indoor Hitting Bays. For many of the campers, this was their first experience at a golf course. The students embraced it with boundless energy and enthusiasm.

The campers honed their golf skills and learned valuable lessons in perseverance, collaborating with others, and sportsmanship. They cheered each other on, offered encouragement, and celebrated every small victory.
