News from Little Linksters, Volume 5
Little Linksters Association for Jr. Golf Development
Golf Fore All Kids...Ages 3-18, Beginner to Elite...
Happy Tuesday!
Many of you know that Little Linksters has a nonprofit arm, The Little Linksters Association for Junior Golf Development, which was formed in December of 2010. Many more may?not know what Little Linksters mission is and what the fundraising that we do is for. As you can see below, our mission is simple...
What we raise money for...
Beyond our scholarship fund, which allows Central Florida youth to take part in our various golf programs, we have new initiatives and goals this year...
Our?Danny Mapes Memorial Lifetime Special Needs Scholarship?program is off and running. To learn more, click the previous link. To make a pledge, go to our?GoFundMe?page.
In 2022, and beyond, Little Linksters aspires to sponsor young golfers that are talented players but face financial barriers which prevent them from reaching their fullest potential. One example can be found here:?Ukraine Golf Family Needs Help?Little Linksters pledged $3,000 to Lev and we are attempting to do more as we are able.
Another example is with a young man named Jake Ryan. Jake is a 16 year old high school junior in Central Florida. Through our new "My Dream" scholarship program, Jake received a full year of private coaching and a new complete set of the latest clubs from Srixon and Cleveland?Golf. The total value of the scholarship was roughly $10,000.
A Note and Invite from Little Linksters Executive Director, Brendon Elliott, PGA
Fundraising is a big part of what I do behind the scenes in my role as the Executive Director. Its a daunting task but one that is key to making sure our mission can continue on for years to come.
We have a handful of opportunities coming up that you, your business, and even your kids can take part in?to help Little Linksters raise funds in our 2022-2023 fiscal year...
