2020 Zach Johnson Foundation Zach Johnson Foundation Annual Report 2020 OUR MISSION: To serve children and families in need in the Greater Cedar Rapids area What a year this has been... We kicked off 2020 with big plans for our 10th annual Zach Johnson Foundation Classic and Gala and a summer full of academic programs including Kids on Course University To serve children for 750 elementary students, Scholar Camp for our middle-schoolers and High School Academy for our oldest students. and families in need Then the COVID-19 pandemic came, turning our plans upside down. And while many of us were anxious and disappointed, we quickly realized we needed to focus on the evolving needs of our students and their families, many of whom were facing in the Greater unimaginable challenges. Our Kids on Course staff were in immediate contact with students and families – arranging for deliveries of food boxes, books and learning packets Cedar Rapids area and supporting our students through remote tutoring. The derecho that tore through Cedar Rapids in August was a devastating blow to our community. We rallied around our kids and families – connecting them to community resources and assisting them with immediate needs such as home repairs and food. And while this has been an incredibly challenging year, there have been bright spots. I was humbled to be named the recipient of the Payne Stewart Award – an honor that simply would not have been possible without the support of the Cedar Rapids community and our donors’ belief in our mission. While the needs and incredible potential of the students we serve have never been greater, every day we see the impact of our donors’ generosity and investments. The progress we are making is real and we look forward to our inaugural class of Kids on Course students graduating in the spring of 2022. To our donors and partners who have let us share in their generosity and commitment, and on behalf of our dedicated Board, thank you. With sincere gratitude, Zach & Kim Johnson Why does it MATTER? Kids who are behind in reading in 4th grade are: 4x more likely to drop out of high school more likely to not graduate from 13x high school on time Kids who drop out of high school are: Ineligible for 90% of jobs in America 2x more likely to abused drugs more likely to be involved in gangs 5x and more likely to go to prison OUR IMPACT Close the opportunity gap so all kids can have the chance to achieve their dreams 2020 SERVED AT A SCHOOLS 9 GLANCE HOURS TUTURING 11,798 Due to multiple school closures this year, after school tutoring at all grade levels was held both virtually and in-person as the buildings allowed. Elementary School CEDAR RIVER ACADEMY (CRA) AT TAYLOR , GRANT, HARRISON, , HOOVER, AND VAN BUREN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS We started programming at CRA in the fall of 2020 and expanded to * serve second grade students at Hoover.

She helps connect students to different avenues to further support their interests and aspirations after graduation. LEFT: photo taken pre-pandemic, 2019 / RIGHT: Chasity, Post-Secondary Learning Advisor AnniverSA 10th RY Zach Johnson Foundation Classic 2020 When the pandemic closed everything down in March of 2020, we still were hopeful we would be able to host our 10th Annual Zach Johnson Foundation Classic in late July. Like many others, we felt COVID-19 would be around for a couple of months and then fizzle out. Boy were we wrong. And like many other nonprofits, we had to cancel our premiere fundraiser for the year. The health and safety of our participants, Zach, other celebrities, pros and our staff had always been and continued to be our top priority while thinking through incredibly difficult decisions. In lieu of our regular event, we hosted a virtual gala on June 6, which raised nearly $150,000 for our Kids on Course program. The virtual gala was an hour-long program that was streamed live via Facebook. It featured many of Zach’s musically-inclined friends like Eric Paslay and Phillip Phillips and entertainment from Kelley James and Dallas Clark. TOP FIVE HIGHLIGHTS for the Zach Johnson Foundation in 2020 VIRTUAL GALA 01 Due to COVID-19, we held a virtual gala in lieu of our annual ZJF Classic tournament and gala. We were overwhelmed by the support and enjoyed seeing faces from all over the world. COVID-19 RESPONSE 02 Our mission continues in different and new ways. As we pivoted plans in 2020, Kids on Course staff provided remote learning, food deliveries, passed out meals, and made sure students were connected. DERECHO RESPONSE 03 The derecho devastated our community with students in our program at the heart of needing assistance. Kids on Course addressed immediate needs, such as helping a family get a new trailer through FEMA and providing financial assistance with funding from a generous donor. EXPANSION 04 We expanded to Cedar River Academy at Taylor this fall and proudly welcomed its inaugural class of first graders. PAYNE STEWART AWARD 05 In the midst of a difficult year, Zach received the Payne Stewart Award. It was a humbling tribute to Zach, the work of his Foundation and the support of donors, volunteers and staff that make our work possible. DREAM BIG. We are believers in the impossible.

There's a player whose passion and foresight in all of his work really was the motivation behind making this happen. We have a video right now to tell you a bit about that man. (Video played.) DAVE MARR: This man, Steve Stricker, certainly is going to carry through, I'm sure, this event and onward. I would like to welcome everyone here, fellow members of the media; hopefully you're as excited as we all are, and introduce the folks here on the panel. I'm sure you all know down the far left is the director of athletics for the University of Wisconsin, Barry Alvarez.

Furyk, a 17-time winner on the PGA TOUR who will captain the United States team at the 2018 Ryder Cup Matches, made golf history during the final round of the 2016 Travelers Championship when he shot 58, the lowest score ever in a PGA TOUR event. “The Travelers Championship will always have a special connection to Jim because of what he did in that record-breaking round,” said Travelers Championship Tournament Director Nathan Grube. “We’re looking forward to recognizing and celebrating his accomplishment, and seeing what he might have in store this year. Considering all that Jim has accomplished in his brilliant career, there are a lot of possibilities.” On Aug. 7, 2016, Furyk carded 10 birdies and an eagle en route to shooting the lowest 18-hole score in TOUR history.

Half the money went to the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation, the other half to the Bruce Edwards Foundation for ALS Research.

  • 2004 PGA TOUR Media Guide / 1-1 Table of Contents
    A Message to the Media n behalf of the players and staff, welcome to the 2004 PGA TOUR season. We appreciate your continued interest in our sport, and we clearly recognize the extent to which our success is tied to the thorough and professional coverage we receive from a Owide variety of global media outlets. As the PGA TOUR begins another great season, we can truly state that the image and competitive spirit of our players has led to the healthiest state in the history of our organization. The Sports Business Journal recently reaffirmed this when it published the “2003 League Report Card,” a survey of corporate sponsors’ opinions of their investment in sports properties. The PGA TOUR ranked first in overall satisfaction among the 16 major sports. This is important as we continue to raise the exposure of our tournaments, provide significant value to our sponsors and showcase the widespread excellence of our athletes. The competition level on the PGA TOUR in 2003 was at an all-time high, with season-ending honors going down to the wire. Tiger Woods recorded a season-high five victories and the lowest stroke average on TOUR and garnered a fifth consecutive Player of the Year honor. Vijay Singh won four times and captured his first money title. Davis Love III won a career-high four times, includ- ing THE PLAYERS Championship, making 2003 the first time in 30 years where three players won four or more times in a season. However, the depth of the TOUR was never more evident. Eleven players age 40 or older combined to capture 15 PGA TOUR titles.
