For over 37 years, Bill Bishop has
been raising money to teach golf to inner city youths. The "Bill Bishop Annual Benefit Golf Classic" raises funding for youngsters
who may never be in a position to play the game of golf.
In 1971 he started the first annual Bill Bishop Pro-Am Golf Classic. The tournament benefactor was junior golfers and
the Cooper Hospital Leukemia Research Unit.
Bill Bishop's Junior Golf Foundation operates a junior summer program at Freeway Golf Course. The program operates three
days a week, Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday, June through August. The program is open to boys and girls ages 8-17 and
provides free golf equipment, instruction and 18 hole play.
Bishop Golf is always in need of sponsors. If your company is looking to support area youth in a positive way, please
visit our Donations page and make a pledge to the 38th Annual Benefit Golf Classic.
