Overview
Since its beginning 17 years ago in Watson Lake and Whitehorse, the PGI Yukon Golf Tournament for Literacy has become the largest fundraiser for literacy in the territory. About 70 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to adult learning programs supported by Yukon Learn Society.
Every year Yukoners - business owners, entertainers, politicians, and
other influential people - participate in the annual tournament held at
Mountain View Golf Course. They are joined by dozens of
volunteers and by "learners" (the beneficiaries of our sponsors' generosity).
They are also joined by some national sponsors and celebrities.
The success of the PGI's depends on the support of individuals and corporations
in each location. This support comes in various forms and includes not
only golfers, but also hole sponsorships, prize donations and volunteer
time. Many of our corporate sponsors have a long history of sponsoring
literacy through the PGI. Not only do they lend their support through
generous financial and in-kind donations, but representatives from these
organizations attend the tournaments to help celebrate literacy. Some
of our corporate patrons are also committee members and volunteers.
We invite you to become part of a unique fundraising experience that promotes
and celebrates literacy!
