Scottsdale, AZ (Sept. 7, 2017) \u2013 In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, PXG announced that it will match donations, dollar-for-dollar, up to $1 million in support of Team Rubicon\u2019s disaster relief efforts. PXG\u2019s matching challenge will help raise critically needed funds for the veteran-led organization, which coordinates and deploys highly trained and capable military veterans as volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing relief to those affected by natural disasters is Team Rubicon\u2019s mission. By pairing the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders, medical professionals, and technology solutions, the organization mobilizes highly trained teams to provide the greatest impact possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTeam Rubicon has created an exceptional program that enables veterans to continue to serve and protect during times of emergency,\u201d said PXG founder and Marine Corps veteran Bob Parsons. \u201cVeterans are trained to act with precision, physically and mentally, amid chaos and disaster. They are often the calm during the storm. And together, they can move mountains.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The matching challenge from PXG allows the veterans and first responders of Team Rubicon to better assist communities on their worst day,\u201d Team Rubicon co-founder and CEO Jake Wood shared. \u201cFrom immediate floodwater rescues to long-term recovery in Texas, Team Rubicon is proud to help communities in need, and we’re honored to have the outstanding support of PXG.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with its touring professionals and brand ambassadors, PXG will leverage its global reach to drive awareness of and raise critical funds for Team Rubicon\u2019s emergency relief efforts in Houston.
