| Each of our three brands has partnered with a
charity or non-profit. We pledge a fixed contribution (a percentage of
gross) to this cause. The more successful we become, the more we will
contribute. Let's look at each brand and the cause we support.
Parmasters Golf Training Centers
One dollar from every paid golf lesson is contributed to Right To Play. In
addition, several centers are currently giving away free short game
memberships with a suggested $20 donation to Right To Play.
Right To Play is an athlete-driven international humanitarian
organization that uses sport and play as a tool for development of
children and youth in the most disadvantaged areas of the world.
We're proud to join many other supporters, including athletes from
around the globe like Steve Young, Wayne Gretzky, Ian Thorpe, Martina
Hingis and many more.

Coffee Kids, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving
the lives of coffee-farming families. Founded in 1998, they work closely
with their partners in coffee-growing communities to create
community-based programs that respect the values, cultural integrity and
ingenuity of the communities.

Quantum Business Golf
Twenty-five dollars from each paid Quantum Business Golf Seminar
attendee is donated micro lending projects administered by Kiva.
Micro lending is a time-tested and sustainable approach to seeding
entrepreneurship in developing nations through grants of peer-guaranteed
small loans (sometimes as little as $50), often called “microloans”.
“Micropreneurs” dramatically improve their family’s standard of living
and typically create 3-5 new jobs per loan. And it works. Repayment
rates on microloan portfolios generally exceed 92% within one year.
Since we believe the best way to truly help others is to give them a
“hand-up” rather than a “hand-out,” we chose micro lending as our
vehicle to fulfill our mission.
Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website,
empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the
developing world. Kiva partners with existing expert microfinance
institutions. In doing so, we gain access to outstanding entrepreneurs
from impoverished communities world-wide. Kiva's partners are experts in
choosing qualified entrepreneurs.
Kiva provides a data-rich, transparent lending platform. To do this,
they use the power of the internet to facilitate one-to-one connection
at much lower costs due to the instant, inexpensive nature of internet
delivery.
