Suicide is a major issue among military veterans.  Recent studies show that 22 veterans commit suicide daily. PGA HOPE is working to positively impact this statistic.

PGA HOPE program participants include military veterans living with physical or cognitive challenges such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and amputees.

 The Department of Veterans Affairs research tells us that physical activity is essential for improving overall quality of life. For many injured veterans, adaptive sports provide their first exposure to physical activity post-injury.

PGA HOPE has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Veterans Affairs, which enables recreational therapists to refer veterans to the PGA HOPE program as a form of therapy at NO COST.
PGA HOPE Helping Our Patriots Everywhere is a FREE 6-week long introductory golf program for military veterans taught by PGA and LPGA Professionals. Lessons are one and a half hours, once a week, for 6 weeks. The program is meant to give back to the men and women that have served our country protecting its freedoms. The purpose of PGA HOPE is to provide veterans a recreational activity that can improve their physical, mental, emotional and social well-being.  PGA HOPE is open to all Military Veterans and Active Duty service members. “If you wore the uniform you are eligible.” Since 2015, more than 2,500 veterans have participated in PGA HOPE Northern California programs.
