Many PGA Tour players have started their own foundations to help benefit their communities or causes close to their hearts. With the huge amounts of money available each week on the PGA Tour, life has never been so good for the game's top players. Stacy Revere writing for globalnews.ca, gives us insight into one Canadian trying to make a difference to Saskatchewan's sick children.
Children's Hospital Foundation.
Last July in Saskatoon we held our first big charity tournament in support of my foundation. Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan benefitted from the event, and they brought a group of kids in to the dinner, just as we were getting ready to do the auction. All of the kids were wearing bright yellow shirts, and every one of them had a medical issue or struggle.
When you meet those children, when you hug them and get to talk to them, that’s when the possibility of my charitable foundation really hit home. It goes from being a concept to reality, and it really hit home with both me, and Ruby, my wife. It made us want to do more.
I started thinking about the idea of giving back during my second year on tour. It became a goal for me. As my career progressed it became something I wanted to follow through on.
When we initially thought about giving to charity, we talked a lot about what our goals and objectives would be. Where did we think we could make a difference?
There’s a history of cancer in both of our families and we thought about that. The money we raise will go to children’s health in different ways. We’ve raised money for the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan. That was a no brainer and fit so well for us.
