The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America has made donations to those affected by the devastating storms in Florida this past fall and the tsunami in Southeast Asia late last year.
The association directed $5,000 to the Florida Hurricane Relief Fund established by Governor Jeb Bush to assist communities in rebuilding. This particular relief fund provides assistance for needs unmet by other disaster relief organizations.
GCSAA also contributed $10,000 to the U.S. Golf Tsunami Relief Fund, a collaborative effort of the major golf associations to address the needs of the regions affected by the natural disaster. GCSAA joined the PGA Tour, the Masters Tournament, the United States Golf Association, The PGA of America, the LPGA, Tournament Players Clubs, individual players, the Tour Wives Association and other golf organizations in participating.
“Over the years GCSAA has contributed to various disaster relief programs because we believe it is only appropriate to help those in need,” GCSAA c.e.o. Steve Mona says. “The donations come in addition to the individual efforts many of our members have made. Superintendents are well aware of the powerful force Mother Nature can unleash and thus have great concern for those who have been affected.”
From its headquarters in Lawrence, Kan., the GCSAA provides education, information and representation to more than 21,000 individual members in more than 72 countries. Visit GCSAA at www.gcsaa.org.
