PGA Member Pledges To UBB Families
WEST VIRGINIA....
When PGA tour member Kenny Perry announced his commitment to play in the Greenbrier Classic, which will be held July 26th through August 1st, he said for every birdie he shot on the course, he would donate $2,000 to the families of those lost in the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster. Jim Justice, The Greenbrier's owner, has agreed to match Perry's donation, which will be given to the families through the West Virginia Council of Churches. The Greenbrier and PGA Tour officials also have committed to assisting the First Tee Chapters of West Virginia and the Roanoke Valley through a special Greenbrier Classic Youth Day on July 27th. Those attending the tournament also can donate to the foundations of local universities through the Badges for Charity program.
