Adopt a School Week

Adopt a School Week is Golf Canada’s junior golf grassroots initiative to drive interest and fundraising efforts around the Golf in Schools program.

In 2018, 263 new schools were adopted, introducing golf to an average of 120 students per school. Since launching in 2009, the program — developed by PHE Canada in partnership with Golf Canada and the PGA of Canada — is currently in over 3,800 elementary, intermediate and high schools with more than 440,000 students participating from coast-to-coast.

Adopt a School Week is scheduled for the week of April 22 to April 26, 2019. Canadian golfers along with industry partners can participate in this national campaign by adopting a school in their community leading up to or during Adopt a School Week and share online or through social media using #GolfinSchools.

For the first 30 adoptions, any golf facility, PGA of Canada professional or individual who “adopts” a school into the Golf in Schools program from April 22 to April 26 will see their adoption matched with a school of their choice.  This matching grant is possible due to Golf Canada’s partnership with the Canadian Seniors Golf Association (CSGA).

Every student should experience the wonders of golf. With each school adoption, clubs can help make this vision a reality. By adopting a school, clubs will donate the full program kit which includes age-appropriate golf clubs and a teacher-friendly learning resource.

ELEMENTARY – $475
INTERMEDIATE – $635
HIGH SCHOOL – $795

Tax receipts will be issued following each adoption
