Freedom Fridays

  

One of the many Northern Chapter, PGA community involvements includes a top priority in supporting the Men and Women in Uniform. Over the past two years the Golf Professionals of the Northern Chapter, PGA have recognized our military by hosting complimentary golf invitations such as this past years Armed Forces Appreciation month were many active and retired military were invited to area golf clubs to enjoy a day of golf on some the best courses in North Florida. Another Chapter success story has been the Chapter’s involvement in raising more than $30,000 in support of Patriot Golf Day and the Folds of Honors Foundation helping those left behind. The Northern Chapter is steadfast on this priority and will continue to be a force behind this drive. Along with these efforts the Northern Chapter continues to do more and has taken on another initiative to spread the word to Remember the Troops. In our day to day lives through the hustle and bustle it’s easy to forget about those who are making the greatest sacrifice by being on the front line and protecting our interests. A way to make us remember is through a symbolic reminder. It’s simple, on each and every Friday the Northern Chapter PGA Professionals are asking you to wear a RED Shirt to the golf course or to work spreading the reminder to not forget about our troops. The initiative is called “FREEDOM FRIDAY” The Executive Board of the Northern Chapter, PGA invites you to join us in this effort. Freedom Friday shirts may be purchased in most golf pro-shops or you may send a order request to Jack Aschenbach, Vice president, Northern Chapter at jackaschenbach@pga.com. A portion of each shirt sold will go towards the Folds of Honors Foundation.
