This week kicks off the 2016 PGA Championship hosted by the East Lake Golf Club! This event is a significant example of the impact that The East Lake Foundation has had on the community. Check out PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem's thoughts on the subject:
"So we decided to try to play something special here just to really take advantage of the golf course, but communicate what has happened here. And, of course, the rest is history. Now, East Lake Foundation has fueled what is Purpose-Built Communities, which is in one way or the other now in 40 different cities getting going. It’s a game changer." - PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem
