The IJGA’s Annual Fund helps “bridge the gap” between the actual costs
associated with running IJGA and MAJGT events and the membership fees
we collect. The Association administers over 15,000 tournament rounds
annually for 2,000+ members ages 8-18.
By donating to the IJGA Annual Fund, you are helping the IJGA fulfill the
motto:
“Better People Through Junior Golf”
