The Augusta National Golf Club is donating $2 million to local coronavirus relief efforts.
The club announced Monday morning that it will give $1 million to Augusta University to help expand coronavirus testing in the area and another $1 million to the COVID-19 CSRA (Central Savannah River Area) Emergency Fund. The Community Fund and the United Way of the CSRA launched it to "directly support relief efforts for the most vulnerable populations affected by the coronavirus pandemic in the community."
"It is our hope these gifts will help address the many challenges brought about by the coronavirus throughout the City of Augusta and the greater region," said Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley, per The Augusta Chronicle.
