On Butterflies of Wisdom today, Best-Selling Author, Win Kelly Charles and Juan Carlos Gill welcomes Gianna Rojas. For Gianna of Oak Ridge, NJ, no obstacle is too daunting to tackle. Having been born without fingers on her left hand, Gianna is known as the “one-handed lady golfer.” She strives to bring attention to golfing success stories of people with physical challenges, and by sharing her story she hopes to inspire others who may question their abilities. Gianna began playing golf nearly ten years ago as a way to experience the game her husband deeply loves. After learning how to adapt her swing to her disability, Gianna developed a passion for golf and recognized an opportunity to advocate for others through her participation in the sport. At a young age, Gianna was the poster child for the March of Dimes, and today she works for the organization as the Community Director in their Parsippany, NJ, office. Also, she is a member of numerous women- and golf-focused charitable organizations, and recently founded Adaptive Golfers, a nonprofit that brings the game of golf to people with different abilities. Gianna will celebrate her 4th year as a volunteer at The Barclays when the PGA TOUR tournament is held at the Black Course at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, NY, from August 23-28, 2016. During the tournament, Gianna will assist as a course marshal at hole 10, a spot she looks forward to returning to each year, as she has developed friendships with the volunteers who are assigned to her area.  As a marshal, her primary role is crowd control. Also, she will help keep the pace of play up and respond to golfers' questions or concerns. “Volunteering with the PGA TOUR is exciting because it allows an up-close look at professional golf, but even more importantly, it is rewarding because it presents an opportunity to support charity and make lasting friendships,” said Gianna. “As a volunteer, I have the chance to make someone’s experience memorable, and that could be a player, a fan, another volunteer or staff member. I feel it is a privilege to share in the experience.” So, when Gianna learned of an opportunity to enhance her tournament experience and support charity through the PGA TOUR Volunteer Challenge, sponsored by Myrbetriq® (mirabegron), she jumped at the chance to participate. Tournament volunteers, like Gianna, are participating in the Volunteer Challenge, a friendly competition designed to raise funds for non-profit organizations while recognizing the talent, passion and commitment of PGA TOUR volunteers in communities nationwide. The Barclays is one of 16 tournaments hosting the Volunteer Challenge during the 2016 season. As part of the program, volunteers ask friends and family to vote at [PGATOUR.com/volunteers](http://pgatour.com/volunteers), and when voting ends on August 27, the volunteer with the most votes will earn the chance to present a $10,000 check to The First Tee of Metropolitan New York. In addition, $5,000 will be donated to the winner’s charity of choice (Gianna would designate the funds to March of Dimes), and top-ranking tournaments can earn additional charitable funds based on the total number of votes earned collectively by volunteers and the tournament – up to $60,000.
