Metropolitan Junior Golf Foundation
Established January 2006
Just as it is in life, success in the game of golf
is marked by hard work and poise, passion
and patience, integrity and intelligence. The gift
of golf can start a child on a lifetime journey
of success and productivity.
The Metropolitan Amateur Golf Association’s Junior Foundation was
created in 2006 by the MAGA to assist youngsters (as well as other
programs that can help youngsters) embrace the values of golf.
We need your support to continue the mission of making golf a platform
to improve the lives of young people of all socio-economic backgrounds.
Your gifts can help hundreds of children in the region become more fully
involved in our great game. Gifts to the Metropolitan Junior Golf Foundation
allow all of us to assist in their development as key contributors to our community – the next generation
of responsible citizens.
