The EWGA Foundation donates to the LPGA's primary junior golf initiative for 8th straight year
Nearly $500,000 has been raised by EWGA in support of Girls Golf

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida, April 20, 2011 -- The EWGA (Executive Women's Golf Association), which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, continued one longstanding tradition by making a donation to LPGA-USGA Girls Golf (Girls Golf) during the 2011 EWGA Golfpalooza Conference in Amelia Island, Fla. EWGA Foundation Board President Margaret Downey presented a check in the amount of $31,446.25 to Carol Corcoran, President of the LPGA Foundation, for the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf program.
"The support that the EWGA Foundation and EWGA members have shown for Girls Golf over the years has been tremendous and we are very thankful of their efforts," Corcoran said. "The EWGA continues to not only be a great financial contributor to the Girls Golf program but even more importantly their members serve as volunteers for the program and mentors to thousands of girls every year."
Over the past eight years, the EWGA Foundation, through EWGA Chapters and association-wide fundraising efforts, has raised nearly $500,000 in support of LPGA-USGA Girls Golf, making the EWGA one of the largest single contributors to the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf program, aside from the USGA. Many EWGA members also serve as mentors, volunteers and site directors at many Girls Golf sites around the country.
"These funds and the volunteer support provided by EWGA members move us closer to reaching the challenge issued by former LPGA Tour Player Judy Rankin to "put a golf club in the hands of every young girl" adds Margaret Downey, president of the EWGA Foundation. "We want every girl to have the opportunity to get into the game. They are our future."
LPGA-USGA Girls Golf is the LPGA's primary junior golf initiative which introduces girls from the ages of 7 to 17 to all areas of the game. The program also teaches the values inherent in the game itself - patience, perseverance, honesty and respect, providing young girls with the building blocks to become future role models both on and off the golf course.
Girls Golf, with over 200 sites around the country and more that 65,000 participants since its inception in 1989, is administered through a partnership between The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Foundation and the United States Golf Association (USGA), both 501(c)(3) charitable organizations.
