About IWGA
Founded in 1933, the Illinois Women's Golf Association is an
all-volunteer organization devoted to advancing golf opportunities
for the women and girls of Illinois by conducting state championship
tournaments and through fundraising to support charitable
contributions to individual and organizations that embody the spirit
of amateur golf.
In addition to running three state championship tournaments each
year, the all-volunteer association, through its charitable giving,
actively supports women's golf teams in Illinois public colleges,
the Evans Scholars Fund, programs for veterans and the Susan G.
Komen Fund. Annually, the association awards the Julia Dodds
Scholarship to an outstanding junior golfer. Funding for these and
other charitable contributions comes primarily from clubs and
associations sponsoring an annual Victory Tournament. Grants totaled
more than $24,000 in 2005.
Board members' names, past tournament results and entry forms are
available at www.iwga.org.
