For Teens

Raising money for local schools, golf program, or charities through golf & academic achievement

 

Academic Achievements

TOG members secure pledges from individuals and corporations for academic achievements they achieve in school.

Money raised through this program will go to support the TOG Foundation, which supports our mission by supporting programs to the overall growth and development of junior golfers from every ethnic, financial, and cultural background around the world to experience and respect their various cultures and to provide an opportunity for every one of our graduates to earn an academic and golf scholarship to college through competitive golf.

Academic Achievement will be counted through the school year achieved by the individuals. Since juniors are soliciting pledges from family, friends and local business they are responsible to report an accurate number of "A"s, Deans List, Commendations from Principal, Coach, Religious Leader for the time period.

$5 per "A" x 6 "A" (per semester) = $30 dollars

$30 x 4 semesters = $120 x 25 pledges = $3,000
Minimum of $1 per "A"

For those juniors raising over $500 and choosing a local school, the proceeds can be split, 50% going to the TOG Foundation and 50% going to a local school (s) of their choosing. All non junior golf charities must be a registered 501(c)(3) organization. All charities must submit an IRS determination letter to confirm non-profit status.

For those who would like to give back to other non-golf related 501(c)(3) charities, the split will be 50% to the TOG and 50% to their charity. For those raising above $10,000, please contact Renny Roker to work out appropriate breakdowns. All monies collected will be given directly to the charities, no administrative fees and all pledges are tax deductible. The juniors or teams will be responsible for collection of all pledges.

All juniors participating in the program will be acknowledged on the scoreboard at each TOG tournament as well as a running total of the top 10 juniors on the TOG web site.
