Opening your wallet for charity is easier when the reward is some incredible golf experiences in return.
The annual auction for Youth On Course might be the premier charity golf auction in the country. Some of the items up for bid include rounds on the most exclusive golf clubs in the world, dream vacations and sporting events.
Where is your money going? You're supporting the next generation of golfers. Junior golfers ages 18 and under who are members of Youth on Course get access to thousands of golf courses across the country for $5 or less per round. Youth On Course is a non-profit based in Pebble Beach, Calif., so your donation/bid is tax deductible.
