The Big Three® on a Mountain Mission
(photo credit PGA)
(Original Story by the PGA) GRUNDY, Va.-If three of golf's most-accomplished players are going to come together for a tournament, then a good cause might as well be the reason.
Historic Mountain Mission School, which has sheltered and educated an estimated 20,000 needy children over its 87 years, will receive substantial support this year from a fundraising event featuring Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, three of golf's legendary figures.
Palmer, Nicklaus and Player, who won a combined 159 PGA TOUR events and 350 worldwide tournaments overall as "The Big Three®," will reunite June 8 at The Olde Farm Golf Club in Bristol, Va., to help raise money for the school, which operates totally from private donations. This first-of-its-kind event is expected to raise more than $12 million and help establish a sustained endowment for Mountain Mission School.
The Big Three® for the Mountain Mission Kids Sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, sanctioned by the PGA TOUR, was organized by Grundy native Jim McGlothlin, founder of The Olde Farm and a longtime benefactor of the school. It will involve a 19-hole scramble and conclude with a presentation ceremony on the 19th hole.
"The game of golf doesn't get any better than this, and neither does fundraising," said McGlothlin, a member of the PGA TOUR Golf Course Properties Advisory Board. "We are more than fortunate to have this trio of golf legends come to Bristol-and to have them playing to benefit the kids at Mountain Mission is very special. The day itself will be memorable, but the impact on this community of less-advantaged children in Grundy will be long-lasting, I can assure you."
"The Big Three® for the Mountain Mission Kids event complements the PGA TOUR's historical commitment to charity and our new initiative, Together, anything's possible," said PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem. "Last year the PGA TOUR-through our tournaments, sponsors, players and volunteers-raised $108 million for charity, and this is just part of an even greater effort this year." Palmer, Nicklaus and Player have symbolized excellence off the golf course as well as on, each having successful charitable foundations that have helped millions of individuals, mostly youth. Now, they are getting together to assist an institution that has a history of remarkable successes and inspirational stories.
"This is a shining example of how golf is such an effective means of raising money for worthy charities and organizations," Nicklaus said. "The fact that in a single day we will be able to raise upwards of $12 million is truly remarkable. Charity has always been a fundamental part of the PGA TOUR, and the three of us take great pride in the work our foundations have done. I'm pleased to take part in this event and to help Mountain Mission School."
"I very much look forward to getting back together with Jack and Gary on the golf course for such a great cause," Palmer said. "When Jim presented the idea and explained what Mountain Mission School has accomplished, I became very interested in helping out. It will be a lot of fun and, most importantly, will help deserving children for years to come."
"What a pleasure it will be to play with Arnold and Jack again in the name of charity, which is so important to each of us," Player added. "We have been very fortunate to make a career of playing golf and take great pride in giving something back through the foundations we have established. Each of us has focused on helping children in need, so helping Mountain Mission School is a natural extension of these efforts."
Mountain Mission School is a non-profit institution that has 230 resident students ranging in age from 18 months to 20 years. The students attend a private pre-kindergarten-through-12th-grade school that, in recent years, has seen more than 90 percent of its graduates enroll in colleges and universities.
The campus has grown from a single building when it opened in 1921 to what it is today, with an educational building, vocational and fine-arts building, campus chapel, administration building and three separate residences for girls, four residences for boys and a toddler hall for boys and girls under age seven. The school accepts any child with a legitimate need, whether the need relates to economics, abuse, family emergencies, home stability or other issues.
"Our school offers love, acceptance and a great educational opportunity for as long as necessary," said Cynthia Rodda, president of Mountain Mission School. "I can't begin to explain how grateful the staff at Mountain Mission School is to Mr. McGlothlin, The Olde Farm and all those participating in the fundraiser."
A one-hour special about the Mountain Mission School, "The Big Three® for the Mountain Mission Kids," will air July 11 at 2 p.m. EDT prior to the final-round telecast of the PGA TOUR's John Deere Classic on CBS.
