Footprints on the Green Program
As the host for many charities and donors to numerous others, McConnell Golf is excited to give back and serve others through our community engagement program Footprints on the Green. Through a strong and supportive effort made by our collective membership and staff, we strive to become a driving force in the local communities where our clubs reside. Aware of the challenges our society and environment face daily, we have aligned ourselves with a variety of organizations with various methods of giving back. This program is designed with all age groups in mind so that it will be a learning tool for our youth, a team building activity for our staff and friendship building platform to strengthen connections with our membership. Footprints on the Green efforts support causes such as Folds of Honor, Susan G. Komen, The Salvation Army and the We Care Golf Tournament held annually at The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation. The McConnell Golf membership and staff continually seek ways to give back to our local communities in meaningful ways.
