Walk the Course Against Domestic Violence
Quail Hollow Championship
By: Kelly Warren

On Tuesday of Quail Hollow Championship week, the PGA TOUR Wives Association partnered with The Avon Foundation and the Quail Hollow Championship to sponsor Walk the Course Against Domestic Violence. The weather was perfect and the Charlotte community embraced our mission to bring awareness to this worthy cause. Over 900 walkers showed up to walk the beautiful Quail Hollow golf course and, in the end, we raised over $90,000! Grants from the proceeds of the walk were presented to two deserving beneficiaries, the Shelter of Gaston County and the United Family Services Shelter for Battered Women, to help their agencies grow and assist victims of domestic violence in North Carolina.

Thank you to all the wives who walked and raised money to support our cause. The PTWA was the highest fundraising team, bringing in over $7,700! Also, a big thank you to our husbands and significant others who came to the post-walk reception and spent time signing autographs and meeting the top fundraisers and sponsors. We were honored to be a part of this event and we want to thank the following sponsors who supported this event and helped us make a difference in the lives of thousands who are affected by domestic violence.
