HISTORY

Pros Fore Clothes Foundation is the idea of Lauren and Charlie Schuyler. Lauren and Charlie met while attending Penn State University.  Through their journey in golf, Lauren and Charlie accumulated excess and gently-worn golf wear, outing giveaways, and staff uniforms. Lauren and Charlie realized all of this clothing was not being worn and could greatly benefit those in need. 

That led to the question “how many fellow PGA Golf Professionals are in a similar situation?” Then they wondered “what if we collect as much excess clothing as we can and deliver it to people in need?”  Hence, the idea was born for “Pros Fore Clothes.”  

Impressed by the idea, Charles (Sandy) Wilkes offered to meet with Lauren and Charlie to discuss their idea. Sandy discussed the idea with Michael Ryan and Chris Ryan who immediately agreed to lend their support and did so for the next ten years, serving on the Foundation's board. Lauren and Charlie are deeply moved and most appreciative for all that Sandy, Michael and Chris have contributed to The Foundation. 

Today, the Foundation operates with one employee and otherwise relies solely on volunteer support. Pros Fore Clothes Foundation's goal is to deliver over one million pounds of clothing to those in need. Please visit the “How to Help” page to learn more.
