The Play Yellow Initiative
The Play Yellow campaign, inspired by Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, unites the golf community in support of children’s hospitals nationwide. We are honored to be part of this initiative, amplifying our impact and joining others in the game for a cause that goes far beyond the course.
In October 2023, our founder Brandon Matthews was recognized as the Play Yellow Ambassador of the Year at the annual Play Yellow Invitational in West Palm Beach, Florida. This prestigious award, presented by Jack and Barbara Nicklaus in collaboration with the PGA TOUR and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, honors individuals who have made a meaningful contribution to pediatric healthcare through golf.
Brandon’s dedication to this mission is at the heart of the NEPA Invitational—and this recognition is a testament to the power of purpose-driven play.
