The Iowa PGA Swings with Kids program was spotlighted during a special event at Lenihan Intermediate School on April 20. The project was awarded a $5,000 grant from the Martha Ellen Tye Foundation and received numerous other donations.
Swings with Kids is designed to get students interested in a sport which potentially can be a lifelong activity for them.
