A Perfect Swing Youth Foundation
There are many youth that are prohibited from playing high impact school sports, like basketball and football, because of mild disabilities like sickle cell or artificial joints, just to name a couple. Playing sports is a huge morale booster and exercise benefit. A Perfect Swing Foundation (501c3) looks to introduce these and other youth to the game of golf as a low impact alternative sport, while providing workshops and events to enhance their leadership, communication, and networking skills.
Playing golf will help boost their morale and get them moving. This will impact their overall health and wellness, as well as their outlook on life. Additionally, this will allow them to compete in school competitions and potentially earn a college scholarship, as well as potentially play professionally one day. If you know someone that can benefit from our services, please contact us. Individual and business partnerships, sponsorships, and donations are needed and appreciated.

A Perfect Swing Foundation (APSF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN# 47-1925614) established to foster youth development in the Carolinas by exposing youth and children, particularly those from underserved communities, to the game of golf and the valuable life lessons to be learned from playing golf.
Become A Youth Booster
You can become an A Perfect Swing Foundation Youth Booster for the calendar year with a $100 donation. In doing so, you will assist us with the cost of golf gear including golf shoes, gloves, shirts, bags, green fees, and clubs as well as food, transportation, and the many other expenses that we have in operating the program. Our Youth Boosters will be recognized each year at our annual Membership Celebration. Every penny is appreciated. To make a general donation, use the donation link at the bottom of this page.
Thank you for your support of our youth and their future!
