Alabama Golf Association Launches Alabama's Only License Plate, Driving "Fore" 1,000 Pre-Commitments
HOOVER, AL (Aug. 3, 2021) – The Alabama Golf Association is proud to launch Alabama’s first and only golf-themed license plate. The Alabama Golf Association has one year to secure 1,000 pre-commitments to officially launch the Driving Fore the Game license plate in 2022.
Both individuals and groups may pre-commit today and secure a license plate by visiting the Motor Vehicle Title Registration and Insurance Portal here.
The cost is $50 annually, including an additional $5 admin fee on top of the annual license plate fees. The net proceeds of the $5 shall be distributed to the Department of Revenue, while the net proceeds of the $50 directly support the Alabama Golf Foundation.
All proceeds will directly support the Alabama Golf Foundation’s junior golf initiatives, including but not limited to Youth on Course Alabama and starting a male scholarship program to mirror the women’s scholarship program.
Executive Director of the Alabama Golf Association, Andy Priest, spearheaded this process to drive further impact beyond the golf course.
“The Alabama Golf Association is proud to serve the state through its fundraising arm, the Alabama Golf Foundation,” Priest says. “This license plate has the power to create and establish greater scholarship opportunity, unlock affordable access to rounds of golf for the youth and more. I’m proud to see this long-time goal on its way to becoming a reality. Now, we just need 1,000 people to join us in our mission to impact lives and grow the game.”
By pre-selling 1,000 plates, the Alabama Golf Foundation will secure $50,000 annually.
