Holes4HOPE

Semper Fi, everyone.

I'm Shawn Donald, a proud U.S. Marine Veteran and PGA HOPE Ambassador.

In the Corps, we're taught to push through the "long days," the ones where the heat is high, and the weight on your shoulders feels impossible. For many of my fellow Veterans, those "long days" don't end when the uniform comes off. They continue in the daily battle against PTSD, TBI, depression, and anxiety.

From June 17th to June 24th, I am inviting you to join me for the longest week in golf and support our Holes 4 HOPE campaign.

My Mission: A 72-Hole Golf Marathon - Holes 4 HOPE
On Sunday, June 21st, the Summer Solstice and the longest day of the year, I will be at Crooked Creek Golf Course playing 72 holes of golf in a single day.

I'm taking on this challenge to raise $10,000 for PGA HOPE Nebraska. PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans and Active Duty Military to enhance their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Led by PGA Professionals, this 6-8 week curriculum is provided at no cost. Through an MOU with the VA, the program even serves as a direct form of therapy.

Why This Fight Matters
I believe golf has the power to save lives. PGA HOPE is on a mission unlike any other to change and save Veterans' and Active Duty Military Service Members' lives through the power of golf.

By participating in the Holes 4 HOPE, we are tackling the invisible wounds of service head-on. This program provides a community and a therapeutic outlet for those managing:

PTSD & Anxiety: Finding peace and mental clarity on the course.
TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury): Rebuilding focus and cognitive coordination.
Social Isolation: Bringing Veterans back into a "squad" environment where they belong.

How You Can Help Right Now

I'm putting my body and my game to the test for 72 holes because our Veterans never quit on us, and I won't quit on them. But I need your support to reach the finish line.

Please consider donating to my mission. Whether it's $5 for every hole I complete, $22 to honor those we lose daily to the struggle at home, or a flat gift to help us reach our $10,000 goal, every cent goes directly to the PGA HOPE Nebraska program.

Your contribution isn't just a donation; it's a commitment to ensuring no Veteran has to walk their "long day" alone. Let's show our heroes that their community has their back.

I'll see you on the course. Semper Fi.

Shawn Donald, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, PGA HOPE Ambassador

CALLING ALL VETERANS

Join the Mission: Holes 4 HOPE

I'm calling on all Veterans to stand with me during the longest week in Golf (June 17-24). You don't have to play 72 holes in one day to make a difference. Launch your own fundraising page and lead the charge your way.

How to Step Up:

Start Your Own Fundraiser: Create a "Holes for HOPE" page. Set a $330 goal-the cost to sponsor one Veteran's full journey through the program.
The 18-Hole Challenge: Play a round during the week and ask for donations for every par or birdie.
Honor a Hero: Dedicate your page to a fellow service member or a loved one who served.

Contact Seth Scollard at [email protected] with any questions.
