Prestwick Golf Group continues its long-time support of The Environmental Institute for Golf (EIFG), the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), with six donations to the Golf Industry Show Silent Auction.
"Prestwick Golf Group's support of the silent auction not only helps fund GCSAA programs for golf course superintendents, but it also provides a great cost savings opportunity for golf facilities on its quality products," said Rhett Evans, CEO of the EIFG and GCSAA. "We appreciate Prestwick's contributions over the years and are honored to see it elevated to the Executive Club."
In 2011, Prestwick Golf Group donated coordinating furnishings including two Keystone Combination Stations, two Keystone Spike Brush Caddies, and two Keystone Divot Bottle Boxes to the Golf Industry Show Silent Auction. Proceeds from the auction support environmental stewardship, research and education, and player development. Auction funds also provide young people with the opportunity to learn golf and the life values the game of golf represents.
With those donations, Prestwick Golf Group moves into the Executive Club level of the EIFG's cumulative giving program for donors who have contributed between $25,000 and $49,999 since 1987.
