The REACH Classic brings together golfers dedicated to our mission: positively impacting lives through the game of golf under our Military Veteran Pillar.
Play for a Purpose: The tournament is open to all players, including Professionals and amateurs. Participants can register as individuals, twosomes, or foursomes. Your participation makes a tangible difference: the proceeds from just one foursome registration support three Veterans entering the PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) program.
PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans to enhance their physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. This program is offered at NO COST to our Veterans. With your support, we can serve Veterans across New England, with a specific emphasis on those with physical and emotional disabilities who benefit most from this initiative.
Event Schedule The day features an elevated experience including lunch, dinner, a silent auction, premium tee gifts, and both gross and net prizes.
