New York state is showing its support for the upcoming PGA Web.com LECOM Health Challenge with a $150,000 grant.
Local leaders and event coordinators met at Peek n' Peak's Upper Course Tuesday afternoon to unveil the check. Senator Cathy Young says a large part of the state's economic plan is to promote tourism.
"This really is something that is going to bring so many people back to the course and back to Chautauqua County because as was said this is an international event, it's not just national, it's international," said Young.
Organizers say there are still openings for the pro-am and volunteer opportunities. Tournament events begin July 4.
