Des Moines Golf and Country Club on Tuesday announced it has raised more than $53,000 for United Way of Central Iowa’s Read to Succeed through its partnership with the 2017 Solheim Cup. During the month of August the club committed to donating one dollar for every dollar spent on tickets to the LPGA’s most prestigious tournament, which will be hosted at Des Moines Golf and Country Club in August 2017. Solheim Cup board chair and DMGCC member Suku Radia said: “When we lured the global golf tournament to Iowa, the club committed to using the Solheim Cup for the benefit of the entire community. The tournament will not only bring significant tourism dollars to our local economy, but also give Central Iowa kids a brighter future.”
