HOUSTON, October 8, 2025 - Aggreko, a global leader in energy solutions, announced that for the third consecutive year, the company is a proud sponsor of PGA HOPE National Golf & Wellness Week. As a “Veteran Sponsor” for the five-day event, Aggreko supported a Veteran to attend the event’s activities from October 8 - 13, hosted by Congressional Country Club in Washington, D.C.
Every year, twenty PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) graduates are invited from a pool of nominees across the country to participate in the event. Throughout the week, attendees receive golf instruction from PGA of America Golf Professionals and wellness training from the Cohen Veterans Network. The wellness training covers topics from social media, public speaking, stress management, mental health, and more. As PGA HOPE Ambassadors, attendees return to their home PGA of America Sections to help other Veterans acclimate to civilian life, using what they learned during Wellness Week.
“Supporting the Veteran community has been an ongoing commitment at Aggreko, as we’re proud to honor their contributions to both our country and our company,” said Aggreko North America’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Stephen Saal. “We are pleased to support PGA HOPE’s mission again this year, and the organization’s work to demonstrate how golf can be an ideal activity for helping Veterans reintegrate into their home communities. Good luck to all the members of the armed forces participating in this year’s PGA HOPE National Golf and Wellness Week!”
PGA HOPE is the flagship military program of the PGA of America REACH Foundation, the 501(c)(3) charitable foundation of PGA of America. PGA HOPE introduces golf to Veterans and Active-Duty Military to enhance their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. The program introduces golf through a developmental 6-8 week curriculum, led by PGA of America Golf Professionals trained in adaptive golf and military cultural competency.
PGA HOPE is celebrating 10 years of impact, aided by a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which enables direct referrals to the PGA HOPE program as a form of therapy.
“PGA HOPE’s mission is to positively impact Veterans’ and active duty military service members’ lives through the power of golf, and we are thankful to have the support of companies like Aggreko that share that mission,” said Chris Nowak, PGA HOPE Military & Veteran Liaison. “For this year’s PGA HOPE National Golf & Wellness Week, we look forward to welcoming a new group of Veterans for golf instruction and wellness training, including one supported through Aggreko’s generosity for the third year.”
Our support of PGA HOPE continues the company’s commitment to supporting Veterans. The energy solutions provider has an established history of recruiting specifically from the Veteran population, as many of the positions at the company benefit from the specialized skill set and cultural values of Veterans. The company actively works to support Veteran employees and find new opportunities to grow their number.
