Salesmanship
Club Youth and Family Center
EDS Byron Nelson Championship
By Julie Petrovic
Youth
and Family Center
Tuesday morning of the EDS Byron Nelson Championship, the
PGA TOUR Wives Association, represented by Julie Allidina,
Amanda Byrd, Ami Garrigus, Sybi Kuchar, Sandy Perry, Julie
Petrovic and Stacey Schultz, made a visit to the Salesmanship
Club Youth and Family Center. The group met with the
director of the center, a psychologist, a few of the team
leaders and supervisors. We were then presented anonymous
case studies to illustrate some of the work the group does
with children and families. The Salesmanship Club has
a three part mission; 1) education of children 2) therapy
for troubled children and their families, and 3) sharing what
they learn with other professionals. We learned that
2/3 of the kids that graduate from their school are in college.
They provide up to 16 hours of therapy a week for troubled
children and even feed them dinner 4 nights a week.
The median income for the families they serve is less than
$20,000. For more information on this wonderful program
