National Car Rental, PGA America Launch Charity Tournament for St. Louis Youth
National Car Rental set up a golf tournament to benefit PGA REACH, a program designed to ‘Improve Lives Through Golf’ by focusing on the areas of Recreation, Education, Awareness, Community and Health (REACH).
As the official partner and rental car agency for The PGA of America, St. Louis-based National Car Rental launched the PGA REACH Charity Pro-Am golf tournament
The aim of the tournament is to raise awareness and funds for PGA REACH to improve the lives of children within the St. Louis area through golf by focusing on Recreation, Education, Awareness, Community and Health (REACH). All proceeds from the tournament will benefit PGA REACH.
Scheduled for Monday, Oct. 8, at Boone Valley Country Club, the tournament is open to the public and will offer pairings with local Gateway PGA golf professionals.
“Golf has been and continues to be the right fit for National Car Rental to reach our targeted audience,” said Rob Connors, assistant vice president of marketing for National Car Rental. “As a company with deep roots in St. Louis and an existing partnership with The PGA of America, this was the perfect organization for National Car Rental to provide support to ultimately give back to St. Louis youth.”
