<div>PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere), is a six-week adaptive golf program offered free of charge by PGA Professionals that utilizes golf as a rehabilitation tool to improve our veterans' quality of life by enhancing their mental, social, physical, and emotional well-being. The program is open to all veterans with an emphasis on serving those with physical and emotional disabilities who would benefit the most from such an initiative. Since 2015, the Met PGA has served over 1,500 veterans and your support will help us impact the lives of thousands more.</div>
