Pro Golfers, Wives Visit J. Erik Jonsson Community School

May 11, 2004 — A group of more than 20 PGA TOUR golfers—including Jonathan Byrd, Jim Carter, Glen Day, Brad Faxon and Corey Pavin—and a number of golfers’ wives visited the J. Erik Jonsson Community school today to get a firsthand look at how the money raised at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship is impacting the lives of inner-city children.

JEJCS students were thrilled to have an opportunity to interact one-on-one with the golfers and wives. An Authors’ Party with kindergarten students, quilt-making with fifth graders and a rocket blasting science experiment with sixth grade were the highlights of the visit. The visit caught the attention of the media. NBC-5 and Fox 4 sent crews out to film the activities, and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram included it in their tournament notes.
