Puppies & Golf recently announced that it would host a golf summer camp between July 28 and July 31. Amanda Balionis reposted the news on her Instagram story, expressing pride and excitement in the caption. She said it has been a huge goal of hers.
“This 🥹. Intoducing kids to being of service at an early age was a MASSIVE goal of mine when I founded @puppiesand golf in 2020. We couldn’t quite figure out how to do that until @firstteegc approached us about partnering for this camp,” Amanda Balionis said via Instagram.
“Hard to explain how proud I am that we get to be a part of this, and introduce so many girls to something I wish I had learned about earlier in life,” she concluded.
Puppies and Girls Golf Summer Camp will be hosted in partnership with First Tee – Greater Charlotte, a non-profit organization that empowers kids through golf. The camp will be held at Dr. Charles L. Sifford Golf Course and is only open to females between the ages of eight and 18.
