Over 150 amateur golfers from as far as Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, and New York City converged on Heritage Golf Links in Tucker, Georgia, as The Georgia Hemp Company and its sporting brand, Sympleaf Sport CBD, presented the third annual Green Hat Classic. The tournament benefited The Kyle Pease Foundation- a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities through sports; raised over 50,000 dollars to fund programming and support athletes as they traveled to races around the globe. Before the tournament started, the foundation presented The Georgia Hemp Company co-founders Ryan Dills and Joe Salome with a framed wheel cover from one of the chairs KPF races throughout the season.

"The Kyle Pease Foundation has long had incredible community-based partners. The partnership with Georgia Hemp has allowed KPF to continue to serve individuals with disabilities in sports and beyond and educate our families on some of the other options available to them with the care of their families," said Brent Pease, Executive Director of The Kyle Pease Foundation. "The Green Hat Classic is a perfect way to amplify KPF's work and celebrate with Georgia Hemp and so many of its core supporters. It is about inclusion, and Georgia Hemp is helping bring that forward today and always. We look forward to many more miles together."
