  • DC golf clinic promotes inclusivity and holiday joy – WTOP News

    On Friday, two professional Black women golfers, Rayab Lee and Fath McKinney, will host a Christmas-themed golf clinic.

    A holiday sports event at Nationals Park aims to empower young players through the game of golf.

    On Friday, two pro golfers, Rayab Lee and Faith McKinney, will host a Christmas-themed golf clinic.

    Aspiring athletes are encouraged to don their ugliest Christmas sweaters and get personalized feedback on their “swing, short game and confidence,” according to the event posting. 

    The golfers will also be hosting a toy drive to support students at Seabrook Elementary School in Lanham, Maryland.

    Angela Waldron, the organizer and promotor for the event, said the clinic is an opportunity for golfers of all experience levels to get a lesson from a pro golfer and also learn something new about the sport.

    “We have two very unique athletes who will be offering their skillset to teach the youth in the area about golf,” she said.

    McKinney played Division One golf on a college scholarship in Chicago and is now on the developmental tour, called the Sapphire Golf Tour, which helps young Black women improve their game and work toward making it to the LPGA Tour.

    McKinney told WTOP that to her, golf is a lot more than just shooting the lowest score possible and trying to win tournaments.

    “Golf teaches life lessons. Not just on the course. But off course,” she said.

    When she was an 8-year-old, McKinney said she spent hours on golf courses, which taught her more than just her swing.

    “From the simplest things on how to handshake a person and look them in the eye when you’re introduced, to how to hold yourself accountable in situations,” McKinney said.

    McKinney learned to play golf in her hometown of Las Vegas as part of the game’s First Tee Program. She’s hopes that by participating in community outreach programs like the holiday golf clinic, more young people, and especially minority children, will develop a love of the sport like she has.

    “Oh, I’m going to see people here, that look like me and we’re going to get together and play some golf,” she said.

    It is estimated that less than 1 percent of all women professional golfers are Black, a statistic that McKinney and other golfers running the clinic like, Rayab Lee, who played at Towson State University in Baltimore, want to change.

    The event will take place on Friday at 6 p.m. at X GOLF Nationals Park. Tickets are still available online.

    –
    ​​​Dr. Norman Quintero will be holding the first toy drive to help the Governor of Puerto Rico and the First Lady with a toy drive initiative aimed at bringing thousands of toys for The Annual Three Kings Day Celebration on January 6, 2018.

    TOY DRIVE

    This year has been very difficult for the island of Puerto Rico and while everyone is working hard to get full power, food and potable water to the island, we are so happy to accept the invitation of the Governor and the First Lady to lead the effort to bring thousands of toys to the children of Puerto Rico.

    Hurricane Maria is regarded as the worst natural disaster on record in the Caribbean and caused catastrophic damage and a major humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico. Over half of the island is still without power and only a little over 80 percent has potable water.

    “The community is responding to the call and we are now getting the first batch of toys and donations together for the children of Puerto Rico,” said Dr. Norman Quintero, who is leading the initiative to raise funds and bring toys in time for the Jan. 6 Three Kings Celebration.

    Three Kings Day, or Epiphany, is one of the most important holidays on the Puerto Rican calendar. Traditionally, the island and most of the Latin world marks the eve of Jan. 6 as the day to exchange presents rather than Dec. 25.  As part of this tradition, the children often gather grass, hay or straw in shoeboxes for the Magi’s horses or camels.

    “This year has been very difficult for the island of Puerto Rico and while everyone is working hard to get full power, food and potable water to the island, we are so happy to accept the invitation of the Governor and the First Lady to lead the effort to bring thousands of toys to the children of Puerto Rico,” continued Dr. Norman Quintero.

    If anyone would like to help with the fundraising effort, please call 1(844) 4-PR-TOYS or 1(844) 477-8697 which has been set up specifically to help people across the country, to be able take part in helping to bring some much-needed joy and hope to the children on the Island of Puerto Rico. 100 percent of all donations are going towards bringing toys to Puerto Rico. People may also visit the GoFundMe account: https://www.gofundme.com/toysforpuertorico to help in this most needed endeavor.

    Los Angeles-area residents are welcome to bring monetary donations and newly wrapped toys to the NQR Corp offices located at 1411 Warner Avenue, Suite D Tustin, California 92780.

    Mrs. Beatriz Rossello, the First Lady of Puerto Rico, has set up the municipalities of Orocovis, Las Marias, Manati, Salinas, and Humacao for the Jan. 6, Three Kings Day Celebrations.

    “In the past, nearly 150,000 children have taken part in the celebration, but due to the challenges and hardship people are experiencing within their communities across the island, we are expecting over 350,000 requests for toys for every student enrolled in Puerto Rico’s public-school system,” ended Dr. Norman Quintero.

    NQR Corp., Ortiz Media Group, Iglesia Getsemani of California, and InService America are among the first organizations listed to help raise the funds and bring the toys to the Island of Puerto Rico.
