The Global Victory Foundation

The Global Victory Foundation is building an international network of world class experts, sponsors, business partners, professional golfers, schools and communities to help improve health and wellness of girls and young women through golf. It provides information, action and real world examples regarding how athletics at an early age, coupled with an overall healthy lifestyle, directly impacts health and well-being.

The Foundation is educating girls and young women (under 18 years of age) on the importance and benefits of prevention, such as physical exercise, healthy diet, routine physician’s visits and diagnostic screenings, and the need to protect and preserve a healthy environment. The Foundation is further promoting participation in the game of golf and other sports as a critical component of a healthier lifestyle.
