BLACK GOLFERS' WEEKEND
By understanding our history, we can empower our future
Black Golfers' Weekend
At Black Golfer's Weekend, we celebrate the past, present, and future of Black players within the sport. The Weekend unites an underrepresented group of people who have historically been excluded from the game. Our partnerships, which are essential to our collective success, are rooted in programs that are uniquely aligned with our mission. Black Golfers' Weekend welcomes families, business leaders, political organizers, professional athletes, and other like-minded people that believe in our values. Our for-profit arm works with NGOs and other organizations to generate funding, resources, access and opportunities for all. Founded by Amy Williams and Co-founded by Steven Johnson, Sr. Black Golfers' Weekend is also a charitable 501(c)(3) organization based in Washington, DC.
Our Mission
We believe in serving the community through diverse, equitable and inclusive programming. Our mission is 3 prong:
prioritize wellness and healthy lifestyles,
amplify social impact initiatives, and
promote the economic advancement of African Americans
Bridging The Gap Golf's Youth Swing Clinic
Each year, Black Golfers' Weekend will continue to create a space for families to participate at little to no cost in our annual youth swing clinic. The 2-hour introduction to the principles and fundamentals of the game will highlight young entrepreneurs between the ages of 10 and 18 in collaboration with Local Grant Partners to provide funding, scholarships, and business resources through golf.
