Utah Championship Charities
The PGA Tour has long believed in giving back to charities and through its tournaments has raised over $1 Billion dollars for charity. Making a positive impact in communities where PGA Tour tournaments are held and players live has always been an essential element of the PGA Tour's charitable mission.
The Utah Championship, an official PGA Tour event on the Nationwide Tour, strives to do its part and partner with local Utah charities and help them raise donations through our event.
We are excited to present the charitable community with an exciting new opportunity – Sell Utah Championship tickets and keep 90% of the proceeds! That's right, 90% of all ticket sales you help generate for the Utah Championship stays with your charity! The success of Tickets FORE Charity programs in other communities has been tremendous and we want to replicate the same success for your charity here!
Please call the tournament office for more information at (801) 495-4653.

Ghandi Peace Center
In 1998, a "Salt March" of about two miles along the Great Salt Lake, was the first Gandhi Birthday Celebration sponsored by what was to become the Gandhi Alliance for Peace. Numerous Utah peace groups cooperated in planning that day. After the celebration, some of the participants decided to make the Gandhi Birthday Celebration an annual event. The Gandhi Alliance for Peace was incorporated in January 2000 with the mission of increasing public awareness and understanding of Mahatma Gandi, his unique role in world history and his commitment to truth, nonviolence, service, and justice; and to encourage nonviolent resolutions of conflict among individuals, communities, and nations.

Junior Golf Academy
When founders Troy and Courtney Dana were looking for quality golf instruction for their children, they found it to really be lacking. You could sign up the kids any time of year for instruction in just about any other sport, but not golf. Not any more! The Junior Golf Academy Foundation offers junior classes and tournaments as well as instruction to adults year-round in their indoor driving range, putting green and chipping area! The JGA Foundation provides an introduction to the game of golf through instruction, tournaments and equipment to those who would not have the resources otherwise. In the Foundation's first year, 800 FREE lessons were provided, approximately 1,000 FREE clubs given away through the Foundation's partnership with PING and the Utah Section PGA. In addition, weekends of FREE golf clinics were held in conjunction with the Christmas Box House and the Safe Kids Fair. For more information visit:
