Gwen’s Girls is a United Way non-profit organization launched in 2002 providing numerous supportive programming opportunities serving the myriad needs of women and girls in the Pittsburgh area. Their core goals are to provide girls and women with the following:

• Trust, love, respect, and validation from caring adults and peers

• Positive female role models

• Opportunities to discover and value their voice

• To feel worthy

• A place to grow into their interests and into womanhood

• Programs to foster self confidence, education and self reliance.

All Funds collected from the 2026 season raffle ticket sales will be donated to Gwen’s Girls. We invite you to visit gwensgirls.org for more information.

The First Tee of Pittsburgh believes every child should have access to safe, enjoyable, high quality, low cost programs that build confidence, character, and life skills. They proudly offer an all-inclusive, fun, affordable range of golf activities, professional golf instruction, guidance and scholarships for kids ages 5 to 18. 

PPWGN will be supporting their used golf equipment program by collecting gently used golf gear twice during the PPWGN season.

• The first collection date will be May 17th at Firestone Farms. 

• There will be a designated drop off spot at Mary Stark’s car at Firestone Farms with signage. Do not bring them into registration. 

• PPWGN will be accepting the following women’s & men’s gently used items:

• Golf Clubs

• Golf Bags

• Golf Shoes

• Golf Apparel

• Golf Balls - If possible place used golf balls in draw string bags, donated small duffles or knapsacks or even egg cartons for easier transport.

This is a chance to know your unused equipment will help a future golfer! Thank you in advance for any donations you can bring. Please visit the First Tee of Pittsburgh website to learn more @ firstteepittsburgh.org
