CARRYING THE TORCH
Until now, a foundation honoring one of the most revered men ever to play
the game of golf didn’t exist. But thanks to Ben Hogan’s
niece, Lisa Scott, and a few other key professionals, the Ben Hogan Foundation
finally came to be in August 2006. The Ben Hogan Foundation will fund charities
and programs that reflect his core values: qualities like self-determination,
courage, a competitive spirit, integrity and hard work. It will support
his passions: golf and its influence on young people, education, and the
well-being of children. Based in Fort Worth, the foundation is a 501(c)(3)
charity, and will be principally funded through contributions made by individuals
and corporations seeking to support and preserve the courageous legacy
of Ben Hogan.
