Volunteers Needed for PGA Tour Championship

Dream Makers Youth Foundation needs volunteers to help work concession stands at the East Lake Golf Club.

The Dream Makers Youth Foundation is seeking volunteers to help staff concession stands at the PGA Tour Championship scheduled for Sept. 19th through Sept. 23rd at the East Lake Golf Club.

Dream Makers is a Smyrna-based non-profit that provides educational and recreational activities for kids with cognitive disabilities across metro Atlanta.

For every DMYF volunteer who completes a full shift, a percentage of the concession stand earnings made throughout the entire tournament, will be donated to the organization.

Proceeds will help with the general operations and help cover the costs of Dream Makers' programs and events, which includes the S.T.A.R.S. Adaptive Tennis and Basketball Programs for children with special needs.

The monies raised through concessions also will be used to fund tutorial services, host family movie nights and recruit speakers to discuss topics relevant to families with special needs children.
