Vacation ownership and experiences company’s corporate social responsibility program empowers youth golfers ahead of HGV Tournament of Champions

Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (NYSE:HGV), the premier vacation ownership and experiences company, announces the launch of a new youth golf clinic program in partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. HGV is partnering with motivational speaker and World Long Drive Champion Maurice Allen to design an inspiring program with a curriculum featuring lessons to help participating youth succeed both on and off the course.

The six-week clinic series features golf sessions focused on mental resilience, strategic thinking and overcoming challenges with Allen directly coaching participants. The program will conclude in advance of the 2025 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment compete alongside top LPGA Tour players in one of golf’s most unique events. Youth participants in the golf program will also have the opportunity to attend the tournament and watch world-renowned golfers execute many of the skills being taught during the youth clinics.

“Maurice is a long-time friend of HGV, who shares our commitment to giving back to the communities we call home,” said Mark Wang, CEO of Hilton Grand Vacations. “Designing this program together to create a long-term impact on youth development through our shared love of golf has been incredibly fun and inspiring.”

“I’m honored to be part of the partnership between Hilton Grand Vacations and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, providing an amazing group of young people with behind-the-scenes access to the golf tournament and investing time to inspire them during this six-week program,” said Maurice Allen, World Long Drive Champion. “Hilton Grand Vacations understands that changing the world requires care, attention to detail and providing people with inspirational experiences. They do it in the hospitality field and they bring that same level of excellence into their community impact and involvement initiatives as well.”

Boys & Girls Clubs of America is HGV’s national youth development partner through the company’s corporate social responsibility program, HGV Serves. This golf clinic is just one example of this partnership, highlighting HGV’s desire to provide unique experiences to Club youth across the country. HGV Serves also encourages HGV team members to volunteer their time to help local Clubs achieve their goals.

“These kinds of partnerships are vital to our mission at Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, and we’re thrilled to partner with Hilton Grand Vacations and Maurice Allen in this exciting endeavor,” said Jamie Merrill, president and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. “It’s inspiring to see how these experiences empower our youth, and we’re grateful for the support that helps us teach valuable life skills in a fun, interactive setting with a meaningful impact on our Club youth.”

Allen will also participate in the HGV Tournament of Champions in January to kick off the 2025 LPGA Tour season. The tournament returns to Lake Nona Golf & Country Club’s championship golf course in Orlando, Florida, from Jan. 30-Feb. 2, 2025, and will be televised on Golf Channel and NBC. Beyond the competition on the course, HGV is hosting an exclusive three-night private concert series headlined by Luke Bryan, Chicago and more.
