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.

In June 2010, Hal Zaima was watching a PGA golf tournament that was to benefit St. Jude Children’s Hospital. The concept was for PGA, LPGA and Champions Tour golf professionals to pledge $1,000 for each eagle they scored during any tournament and donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Hal thought the per-eagle donation amount was very generous, however realized that the number of participants was too small to make a huge impact.
FOR THE KIDS! Eagles for Children® is a simple, fun and engaging program that unites your club for a common cause. We use the game of golf and one great moment on the golf course — scoring an eagle — to benefit disadvantaged children.
