A portion of the proceeds from the Hole in One Challenge will help support PGA National Resort’s Members Club charity arm, Community Outreach Charity Fund (COCF). The COCF directly benefits and supports small, local, not-for-profit agencies working with the vulnerable populations in Palm Beach County.  The COCF makes grants to enable these agencies to provide specific services to those in need.

“This is going to be an incredible Memorial Day weekend for local charities as well as our guests here at PGA National Resort, especially with the excitement of our inaugural $50,000 Hole in One Challenge,” says Joseph Fisher, Managing Director. “Summer is a great time for families to visit us here in South Florida and enjoy a resort vacation packed with activities and experiences that few destinations anywhere in the U.S. can equal.”
