On June 30, 2025, PLTgolf proudly participated in—and sponsored—the Esperanza & HOPE International Dave Valle Charity Golf Classic at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge. With a fleet of enthusiastic players, hundreds of supporters, and a stunning Pacific Northwest backdrop, the event showed how the power of golf can extend far beyond the fairway.

A Legacy of Hope

Founded by MLB standout and PLTgolf co-founder Dave Valle, Esperanza International has been transforming lives in the Dominican Republic since 1995—providing microloans, vocational training, healthcare, clean water, and spiritual support to underserved communities. Dave’s vision was simple but powerful: give people the tools and dignity to lift themselves out of poverty.

In partnership with HOPE International, Esperanza continues to expand its reach, having distributed nearly $33 million in microloans to more than 8,000 entrepreneurs and families. The organization helps fund not only businesses but education, clean water systems, and long-term community development.

On-Course Impact

During the tournament, PLTgolf gave away branded gloves and hats to players and guests, helping create a memorable experience while proudly representing our brand's deep ties to this cause.

But the true impact lies in the mission behind the golf:

• Economic Empowerment: Event proceeds help fund small but powerful microloans to budding entrepreneurs—giving families the resources they need to thrive.

• Holistic Development: Through job training, health clinics, clean water initiatives, and faith-based mentorship, the organization empowers entire communities.

• Dignity-Driven Change: Dave’s founding belief—that every person has potential—guides Esperanza and HOPE International’s model of self-sustaining, dignity-first impact.

Why It Matters to PLTgolf

With one of our own at the heart of this incredible mission, PLTgolf is especially honored to sponsor this event. Supporting the Dave Valle Charity Golf Classic is not just a reflection of our values—it’s part of our DNA.

The tournament was a true celebration of purpose, partnership, and possibility. Golfers, donors, and supporters came together not only to enjoy an exceptional course, but to help rewrite the futures of families around the world.
