John Osberg Makes Four Year Commitment to PGA REACH WNY’s Mission and begins with a commitment to 74 miles to raise awareness and funds
EAST AMHERST, NY (February 26, 2021) – Owner and creator of OZmosis Consulting and Co-Founder of Bad Golf Business School has been named the 2nd trustee of PGA REACH WNY, the 501(c)(3) foundation of the Western New York Section, PGA of America.
Osberg, an avid golfer and graduate of Niagara University, has pledged the next four years to PGA REACH WNY. The new Trustee and Advisory Group is a strategic initiative by the current leadership of PGA REACH WNY in order to more fully engrain themselves in the community they serve and understand the changing needs of their benefactors. This group of individuals will lend help both financially and strategically to all mission driven programming.
“I am sincerely honored to join this newly formed initiative alongside close friends, idols, mentors and exceptional community leaders. The PGA REACH of WNY Foundation has continually emboldened me to keep spreading good about the world at a time when communal support is needed most” said Osberg.
“Working within the 3 focus areas of PGA REACH WNY specifically on PGA HOPE, I have been afforded the chance to, as I like to call it, ‘Serve Those Who Have Served.’ To witness the truly life impacting, life enhancing and life saving things that are happening every day within the pillars of PGA REACH WNY has been surreal. I am greatly energized, humbled and stoked to continue creating impact and legacy through the beautiful game of golf!”
The mission of PGA REACH WNY is to positively impact the lives of youth, military, and diverse populations through the game of golf. PGA REACH WNY was created with a goal of providing support to various organizations within the boundaries of the Western New York PGA Section. Through the game of golf, the Foundation will work to fund and conduct programs supporting its mission, including the Western New York Section PGA Junior Golf initiatives and various other underprivileged youth golf programs. The Foundation will also conduct and/or support a variety of initiatives that serve the founding pillars: youth, military, and diversity in golf.
PGA Jr. League, the flagship youth program of PGA REACH WNY, is a game-changing opportunity to bring family and friends together around fun team golf experiences. PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) introduces golf to Veterans with disabilities to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. The PGA WORKS Fellowship aspires to be the most valuable entry-level employment opportunity for individuals from diverse backgrounds to gain experience in all facets of the golf industry.
“We’re thrilled to have John aboard as our second committed Trustee and Advisor of PGA REACH WNY,” said WNYPGA Executive Director, Steven Bartkowski. “John brings another level of passion and commitment to ensure that PGA REACH WNY not only meets but exceeds its mission driven expectations. He will be another crucial piece in the long-term planning and execution process as the Foundation continues to grow its commitment to Positively Impacting Lives Through the Game of Golf.”
