Clearview Golf Course Special Events: Empowering Women and Girls Through Golf

As golf enthusiasts, we often talk about the importance of inclusivity and diversity in the sport. However, for far too long, certain groups have been underrepresented on the greens. The Renee Powell Grant Program is a step towards bridging this gap, particularly for Black girls who may not have had access to the game otherwise.

Thanks to the support from the golf industry's Race Fore Unity efforts, The LPGA Foundation has raised $50,000 to establish the Renee Powell Grant, which will provide funding to LPGA-USGA Girls Golf programs that serve Black communities. This grant is a testament to the commitment of the foundation to creating an inclusive environment where all women and girls can engage with the game.

But who is Renee Powell, you may ask? A legendary figure in the golf world, Powell is an American professional golfer who played on the US-based LPGA Tour and has been the head professional at her family's Clearview Golf Club in East Canton, Ohio since 1995. Her journey began early on, taking up golf as a young girl in Ohio and becoming the second African American woman to play on the LPGA Tour.

Powell's story is an inspiration, but it's not just about individual achievement. The Renee Powell Grant Program aims to empower and transform the lives of women and girls through golf by providing access, instruction, equipment, and additional expenses required to introduce them to the game and keep them engaged. This grant will be awarded through The LPGA Foundation and the LPGA Renee Powell Fund.

Established in 2020, the objective of the Renee Powell Grant is to provide need-based grants to LPGA*USGA Girls Golf programs that are inclusive of Black communities as part of their initiatives. By providing these grants, the program aims to create an engaging, safe, and inclusive environment for all women and girls to play golf.
