We are honored to recognize Cary Cozby, PGA, for his nomination for the Deacon Palmer Award, which honors PGA Professionals who display outstanding strength of character in the face of significant personal adversity. After overcoming a major health challenge during his time at Wichita Country Club, Cary transformed his personal journey into a powerful mission of service, leading a decade-long charitable initiative that raised over $750,000 for cancer patients and their families. By maintaining his leadership within the Section and his club throughout his recovery, Cary has provided a profound example of resilience and selflessness. His commitment to using the game of golf to provide hope and essential resources to those in need perfectly embodies the spirit of this prestigious award.
Cary will be recognized at the South Central PGA Awards Banquet on February 22nd.
