ABOUT US

Sisters Across America, Inc. is a  not for profit, 501©3 tax exempt organization, formed in 2006 by a group of Sisters from all corners of America who now live and play golf together in Central Florida.  Our goal is to provide a professional and social network for women golfers while raising funds to realize our mission.


We foresee the day when minority women will experience successful careers as professional golfers.

 

OUR MISSION

Our Mission is to provide support and mentoring for young minority women who wish to pursue a professional career in golf.


Making A Difference 

One of the greatest challenges facing young minority female golfers is the opportunity to get the proper training and coaching required to prepare for and maintain a career as a Professional Golfer.

Our hope is that our efforts will afford the opportunity for a minority female to pursue her dreams of being a Professional Golfer.



Message From The President

              “Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for anything. Passion often applies to lively or eager interest in or admiration for a proposal, cause, or activity or love.”  Wikipedia.

I take this opportunity to thank you personally and on behalf of Sisters Across America, Inc. for the “passion” you demonstrate for our cause.  Once, again, Sisters from all over the United States have come to share with us in two days of golf, fellowship, and to embrace the cause or mission of our organization.  We thank you for your commitment, your concern, your comments and your caring.


               Sisters Across America, Inc. was founded in 2006 as an organization with a purpose of promoting golf and networking opportunities among women throughout the United States, and, to nurture and inspire young minority females to become the golf professionals they choose to be.  This year, 2008, our 2nd Annual Golf Invitational was held at Orange Lake Resort, Orlando, Florida.  There were 90 players who came to show their support and golf with others from around the country.  Since inception our accomplishments have been:

  1. Incorporated as an organization - 2006
  2. 1st Annual Golf Invitational - Reunion Resort - Orlando, FL - 2007
  3. 2nd Annual Golf Invitational - Orange Lake Resort - Orlando, FL - 2008
  4. Received 501 (c) 3 status - 2008
  5. Accepted candidate applications - 2008
  6. Voted and approved to embrace and support Shasta Averyhardt and will be sending Shasta to Qualifying School - 2008

                These are not small accomplisments.  We could not have done this without you.  Sisters Across America greatly appreciates everyone who has participated in our events, donated time and/or money, said a prayer for our continuance, spoke a favorable word about the mission, brought a friend, relative or associate with you to one of our events, sent club donations, gave us your candid comments, and who continue to support the SAA cause.

                The mission of Sisters Across America, Inc. makes our organization unique.  While we strongly encourage and support Junior Golf programs locally and in other areas we have a specific goal.  That goal is to bring the best from these local programs and from the college programs into their dream of a professional career on the Futures or LPGA tours.  As Sisters, we continue to meet together, bond together, “live, laugh, and love”, but, most importantly we want to produce a young minority female golf professional.

               Thanks again, for joining with us and for your support.  We take everything you do and say to heart and hope that you will continue to give.  As we embark upon supporting Shasta Averyhardt in Qualifying School, Active and Associate members will be called upon to do whatever it takes to provide the help Shasta needs to be successful.  Thanks in advance for that support.  We look forward to seeing you May 15-17, 2009 at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club, Palm Harbor, FL, where once again, we will have fun, laugh, live and golf to the fullest, but, leave with the sense that we are helping a candidate to become an LPGA reality.

                                Respectfully,

                                Esther B. Wilson, Founding President
