Charlotte, NC (October 10, 2023) – The 5th Annual Harvick4Heroes PGA REACH Charity Pro-Am presented by Sound Gear was a complete success! The gorgeous Trump National Charlotte created the perfect venue for the twenty-nine teams to tee off on the brisk October morning. The E-Z-GO team consisting of PGA Professional Brad Mundy and Travis Gray (a), Trey Leonard (a), Taylor Coalson (a), and Jeremy Crane (a) went low, winning by one stroke at 26-under par.
Players listened to the stories of PGA HOPE Charlotte Veterans Curtis Croft (USMC), Jonathan Thomas (Army), Roy Wilkins (Army), and Roger (Rockie) Wilson (Army) and PGA HOPE Carolinas Ambassadors Harold Hill (U.S. Coast Guard) and Colton Hensley (Army). They also learned about the Kevin Harvick Foundation and the three Pillars of PGA REACH Carolinas; Youth, Military, and Diversity & Inclusion.
Following the tournament, players gathered for an evening of drinks and hors d’oeuvres where a live auction for exciting sports packages and memorabilia was hosted. The entire event with the Pro-Am and online auction raised over $250,000 for both foundations.
We would like to thank NASCAR racing legend Kevin Harvick for aligning the Kevin Harvick Foundation with the PGA REACH Carolinas for an incredible event, and KHI Management Vice President Josh Jones for working alongside our team. We would also like to thank Starkey President & CEO Brandon Sawalich and Product Manager Luke Maresh from SoundGear for being a presenting partner on the event.
