Partnership formed to develop program in Youngsville area

A partnership has been formed between the Program for Character and Leadership at Wake Forest University and the Arnold and Winnie Palmer Foundation to support student athletes at the university and promote character and leadership development with golf programs for youth around the world. Students in nearby Youngsville looking to learn more about golf or pursue a professional career in the sport might be interested in this development.

The Godfrey family and the Plamer Foundation have made possible this program at Wake Forest University. Chair of the Board of the Arnold and Winnie Palmer Foundation and daughter of Arnold and Winnie Palmer, Amy Plamer Sanders, said:



“Golf is an ideal opportunity to teach life lessons to young people. It’s a game of integrity and honesty. Character is an essential element.”




She added that the goal of this new initiative is to enable young people to succeed in life in general, whether they decide to play gold competitively or not.

The head of the initiative will be Corey Crossan, who played NCAA golf while at Eastern Michigan University. At Wake Forest, Crossan will work closely with the Palmer Foundation and its partners to create programming, curricula, and tools to help young golfers improve their golfing abilities and to live life based on character.

Brochure printing can be used to provide more information about such programs, their goals, and benefits for young people.
