Nebraska PGA Professionals and Amateurs Come Together for an Event To Raise Funds For PGA REACH Nebraska

Omaha, NE. – Presented by the Pinnacle Bank Championship and Adidas, Happy Hollow Club played host to the 2021 PGA REACH Nebraska Pro-Am on a top ten day featuring perfect weather. 19 teams of Nebraska PGA Professionals and Amateurs from across the state teed it up in a day of celebration and an effort to raise funds for the Nebraska Section PGA’s charitable arm and its Foundation, PGA REACH Nebraska.

PGA REACH Nebraska is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to positively impact lives through the game of golf. The PGA REACH Nebraska Foundation was created for the purpose of administering the charitable and philanthropic affairs on behalf of the golf professionals within the Nebraska Section PGA. The Foundation is broken down into three pillars: Military, Youth and Diversity/Inclusion. Within the three pillars are several programs that target those areas of focus.

The Youth Pillar of PGA REACH Nebraska will ensure no child is forgotten and left to pursue golf on their own. PGA REACH Nebraska provides programs for youth across the section to grow the next generation of golfers. PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is the flagship military program of PGA REACH Nebraska, the charitable foundation of the Nebraska PGA. PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans to enhance their physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. Inclusion is a core value of PGA REACH Nebraska and they are committed to making sure that people of all backgrounds have access to and feel authentically welcome in the game and business of golf.

In addition to celebrating all of what PGA REACH Nebraska has accomplished since its inception in 2014, we witnessed some great play on the course. Congratulations to Jim White, PGA of the Fairways at Lincoln for finishing with a 68 (-3) round to lead the way in the Professional-only division and to Kevin Drew, PGA of The Field Club of Omaha and his team of Amateurs on winning the team division with a score of 20-under-par. Finally, we want to thank the entire team at Happy Hollow Club for hosting a tremendous event.
