Jupiter, April 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anthony’s Ladies Apparel, a fourth-generation, family-owned women’s boutique, partnered with the Women’s Golf Association at PGA National to host a community shopping event at its Jupiter location on Feb. 24, raising funds for scholarships benefiting local participants in the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Leadership Academy.
Proceeds from the event will fund two $5,000 scholarships for local Palm Beach County participants attending this year’s academy, which is designed to keep teenage girls engaged in the game of golf while developing critical leadership skills.
The event brought together members of the Women’s Golf Association, local shoppers and the Anthony’s team for an evening centered on community, connection and giving back. A portion of all purchases contributed directly to scholarship funding.
The LPGA Leadership Academy is a two-day immersive program that uses golf as a platform to teach leadership and life skills. Participants take part in interactive stations and activities that focus on goal-setting and confidence-building both on and off the course.
“As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Women’s Golf Association at PGA National, supporting the next generation of women golfers through the LPGA Foundation was a natural fit,” said Jackie Derle, president of the Women’s Golf Association. “We were thrilled to raise enough for two scholarships benefiting Palm Beach County participants in the LPGA Leadership Academy. Anthony’s team made the event truly special, and we look forward to building on this momentum with their team to support next year’s charity.”
The 2026 LPGA Leadership Academy will take place in Florida in June, where scholarship recipients will be selected by LPGA Professionals based on participation and personal growth throughout the program. Scholarship funds will be awarded to recipients and applied toward their future college or university education once they enroll.
Anthony’s plans to continue expanding its community-driven initiatives across its 12 Florida locations, supporting causes that align with its mission to uplift and inspire women.
