Welcome to Eagles for Children®!
The idea of using one great moment on the golf course, “an eagle,” to benefit thousands — or potentially millions of children in need, inspired program co-founders Hal Zaima and Don Kegley, friends and life-long golf enthusiasts, to test the Eagles for Children® program at Oakland Hills Country Club in 2012. Three other area clubs agreed to join, and by the end of the season, the clubs had raised nearly $40,000, which was awarded to 14 different children’s charities in the Detroit Metropolitan area.
Now, after celebrating our 10th year, Eagles for Children® has given grants to local children’s charities totaling over $3.7 million.
