Golf's latest sensation, Amanda Balionis is a CBS reporter and analyst for the sport. However, golf isn't the only thing the 38-year-old American is fond of. Balionis also founded her nonprofit organization called "Puppies and Golf".
The organization aims to provide financial aid to animal shelters across the United States of America and help pet parents with "unexpected medical or training bills." Puppies and Golf also trains and pairs dogs with the country's military veterans to aid in their mental health and help them recover from PTSD.
Amanda Balionis' organization has recently collaborated with Travis Matthew, a golf apparel brand. The new launch includes a limited edition snapback hat. All proceeds from sales will go to the organization. Balionis shared a picture of the new hat to her Instagram with the caption,

"Summer is here and so is our latest @puppiesandgolf drop! Snag our latest limited edition @travismathew snapback with 100% of proceeds going back to the foundation. A reminder of what we do: 1. Provide grants and awareness to shelters in need across the country. 2. Provide grants to families with unexpected pet medical bills so their dog can stay in their loving home. 3. Support organizations that train service dogs for our military veterans battling PTSD and other invisible injuries."
Amanda Balionis at the 2024 Travelers Championship
Amanda Balionis dressed to impress at the 2024 Travelers Championship. During the third round of the final Signature event of the year, she wore a stunning red coloured maxi length dress.
She paired the look with a pair of white sneakers and minimal jewelry. The dress is a part of Alice + Olivia by Stacy Bendet's 2023 summer collection and is no longer in production or available for sale on their official website.
The 2024 Travelers Championship that was played at Connecticut's TPC River Highlands course coincided with Amanda Balionis' birthday. She celebrated her 38th by attending the Signature event, where she also met one of her idols.
Balionis ran into Lesley Stahl at the 2024 Travelers Championship. Stahl is also a presenter and analyst for CBS. The Puppies and Golf founder took to her Instagram to share a picture of her and Stahl. To express her gratitude on the occasion of her birthday, here's what Balionis captioned the picture as:
"It took my 38th birthday for two iconic things to happen. 1. I had the honor of meeting and picking the brain of the legendary Lesley Stahl. She is everything. 2. I finally accomplished the thing Cosmo prepared us for every day of our lives as teens: successfully turning a top from day to night"
