Assist World Am With Hurricane Relief Efforts

Hurricane Relief with the Red Cross for families of needIn the days leading up to this year’s World Am, Hurricane Harvey delivered a devastating blow to parts of Southeast Texas, including the Houston area, home to nearly 50 World Am participants. In an effort to aid the area’s recovery, we sent more than 600 pounds of clothing, including 700+ golf shirts to the area, and the tournament pledged $1,000 to hurricane relief efforts.

Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma has since delivered a crippling blow to Florida and Hurricane Maria did catastrophic damage to Puerto Rico. If you have the financial means to assist and are moved to do so, the World Am has set up a relief fund through the Red Cross to help families in need.  [DONATE TODAY]
