Vacation ownership and experiences company’s
corporate social responsibility program empowers youth golfers
ahead of HGV Tournament of Champions
Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (NYSE:HGV), the premier vacation
ownership and experiences company, announces the launch of a new
youth golf clinic program in partnership with Boys & Girls
Clubs of Central Florida. HGV is partnering with motivational
speaker and World Long Drive Champion Maurice Allen to design an
inspiring program with a curriculum featuring lessons to help
participating youth succeed both on and off the course.
The six-week clinic series features golf sessions focused on
mental resilience, strategic thinking and overcoming challenges
with Allen directly coaching participants. The program will
conclude in advance of the 2025 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament
of Champions, where some of the biggest names in sports and
entertainment compete alongside top LPGA Tour players in one of
golf’s most unique events. Youth participants in the golf program
will also have the opportunity to attend the tournament and watch
world-renowned golfers execute many of the skills being taught
during the youth clinics.
“Maurice is a long-time friend of HGV, who shares our commitment
to giving back to the communities we call home,” said Mark Wang,
CEO of Hilton Grand Vacations. “Designing this program together to
create a long-term impact on youth development through our shared
love of golf has been incredibly fun and inspiring.”
“I’m honored to be part of the partnership between Hilton Grand
Vacations and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, providing an
amazing group of young people with behind-the-scenes access to the
golf tournament and investing time to inspire them during this
six-week program,” said Maurice Allen, World Long Drive Champion.
“Hilton Grand Vacations understands that changing the world
requires care, attention to detail and providing people with
inspirational experiences. They do it in the hospitality field and
they bring that same level of excellence into their community
impact and involvement initiatives as well.”
Boys & Girls Clubs of America is HGV’s national youth
development partner through the company’s corporate social
responsibility program, HGV Serves. This golf clinic is just one
example of this partnership, highlighting HGV’s desire to provide
unique experiences to Club youth across the country. HGV Serves
also encourages HGV team members to volunteer their time to help
local Clubs achieve their goals.
“These kinds of partnerships are vital to our mission at Boys
& Girls Clubs of Central Florida, and we’re thrilled to partner
with Hilton Grand Vacations and Maurice Allen in this exciting
endeavor,” said Jamie Merrill, president and CEO of Boys &
Girls Clubs of Central Florida. “It’s inspiring to see how these
experiences empower our youth, and we’re grateful for the support
that helps us teach valuable life skills in a fun, interactive
setting with a meaningful impact on our Club youth.”
Allen will also participate in the HGV Tournament of Champions
in January to kick off the 2025 LPGA Tour season. The tournament
returns to Lake Nona Golf & Country Club’s championship golf
course in Orlando, Florida, from Jan. 30-Feb. 2, 2025, and will be
televised on Golf Channel and NBC. Beyond the competition on the
course, HGV is hosting an exclusive three-night private concert
series headlined by Luke Bryan, Chicago and more.
