The Hero Program, a leading company for on-course fundraising on behalf of veterans, first responders and frontline workers, has grown into one of the largest supporters of our heroes nationwide. PGA HOPE Hero Days will launch in the Philadelphia PGA Section this summer and will bring more awareness to the positive impact of rehabilitative golf programs for veterans through partner courses and will fundraise fundraise directly on behalf of PGA HOPE Philadelphia.
