Western Region: The 6th Annual Pitt vs. PSU Golf Challenge
To benefit The Second Mile and Charities of John MajorsTuesday, June 8, 2010
Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort Blairsville, PA
The 6th Annual Pitt vs. PSU Golf Challenge will be held on June 8, 2010 at the Chestnut Ridge Golf Club, Blairsville, PA. Sports greats, coaches, and celebrities from Pitt and Penn State football will match golf abilities at this event.
In the southwest region of Pennsylvania, in an effort to reach more Pennsylvania youth who face adversity, The Second Mile has partnered with the charities of Johnny Majors: The University of Pittsburgh’s Leisure Learn Program and The HOPE Network. These organizations believe, as does The Second Mile, that with the right support, every young person can achieve their potential as individuals and community members.
The Second Mile’s nine programs challenge young people with a hand up, not a hand out. The HOPE Network promotes community integration of individuals with cognitive and/or physical challenges through programs, services, and leisure activities that support return to healthy, productive lifestyle. And, The University of Pittsburgh’s Leisure Learn Program is designed to assist local residents optimize their quality of life through improved health and physical well-being.
While each program and organization faces these issues in slightly different ways, every program and each charity has the same belief and motivation: these children might arrive with obstacles and difficulties in their lives, but they leave with opportunities and hope. They are accepted regardless of their ability, appearance, or level of affluence and are asked to rise above their circumstances.
Please join us for the Pitt vs. PSU Golf Challenge this year to help benefit these great causes.
