The Esther Cannizzo Junior Golf Foundation became a reality when in May of 2008; Esther Cannizzo lost her battle with cancer. She was a wife, mother, friend and an avid golfer. It was an untimely passing because she was young-hearted, full of life and the best mother any child could ask for.

At the beginning of 2008, after being diagnosed with cancer, it was uncertain if Esther would ever play golf again. Through her course of treatment it was clear that she would not. As her fate became imminent and her health was failing, her children decided to do something that would honor their mother in a positive way.

The mission of the Esther Cannizzo Junior Golf Foundation is to promote and affect the lives of young people through the game of golf. The foundation provides financial assistance for coaching, tournament play, golf programs and equipment.

If you are 12 years or older and have demonstrated exceptional skill in the game of golf, have a financial need for assistance and the value system to work hard for your goals, you are eligible for a grant!
