activities, and more fun. Whether you're a golf fanatic or just

Wyndham Championship Fore! Good
Creating positive impact in the community is a hallmark of the
Wyndham Championship and Wyndham Championship Fore! Good, the
tournament's signature philanthropic platform. Focused on youth,
education and inclusivity, the platform helps give back to worthy
causes in central North Carolina and
beyond.
Once again this year, Wyndham Rewards will donate $25,000 to each of the Championship's signature
backpack charities. In addition, Thursday through Sunday, should a
PGA TOUR player make a hole-in-one on the par-3 16th hole,
Wyndham Rewards will award one million points to the player and
donate an additional one million points to the backpack
charities.
Through the tournament's backpack program, Wyndham Rewards works
with local organizations—Backpack Beginnings, Forsyth Backpacks,
Out of the Garden Project and United Way of Greater High Point—to
help feed children from low-income families around central
North Carolina. Backpacks are packed
with nutritionally-sound meals, which families take home every
weekend. Just $5 can feed one child
for a weekend while $150 can feed a
child for a school year. Fans can join Wyndham in supporting these
charities by donating at tournament merchandise and concession
stands.
Celebrating First Tee - Central Carolina and the
Greensboro Six
Earlier this week, Wyndham executives joined
community leaders and members of First Tee – Central Carolina to
unveil a new outdoor mural at Gillespie Golf Course honoring civil
rights pioneers, The Greensboro Six.
Created by Brooklyn-based
artist Vincent Ballentine, the mural
elevates the story of The Greensboro Six—key players in the civil
rights movement whose purposeful actions ultimately helped
desegregate professional golf—while celebrating the positive impact
that Gillespie, through First Tee, continues to have on the
Greensboro community today.
In addition to unveiling the mural, Wyndham joined with the
Tournament in making a supplemental donation of $200,000 in support of First Tee-Central
Carolina, helping further the organization's mission of aiding
children of all backgrounds build life skills through the game of
golf. Since 2007, the collective efforts of Wyndham and the
Tournament have helped to raise and donate millions to the
organization.
