Hello! I'm Henry Manciu, a 16-year-old sophomore and varsity athlete at Canon McMillan High School using my passion for golf to give back! I admire the golfing legend Jack Nicklaus who said, "There is no better exercise for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up!"
I am grateful for your support as I raise funds for the Jack and Barbara Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation, the TEN Memorial and the Liberty National Ace Grant. The Nicklaus Foundation supports programs focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of childhood illnesses. The TEN Memorial builds character and leadership in young people through golf events centered on the four pillars of youth, golf, faith and education. The Liberty National Ace Grant helps junior golfers who need financial assistance to compete in elite tournaments with the goal of winning college scholarships.
In 2025, good people from all over the community helped me raise just over $9,000 for great causes! Read more about it here: observer-reporter.com/news/local_news/2025/dec/10/how-the-grinch-gave-back-c-m-teen-turns-into-golfing-grinch and here: facebook.com/golfwithhenry In 2026, I hope to exceed last year’s fundraising by continuing to offer chipping, putting and simulator sessions, by holding a golf equipment garage sale, by hosting a charity junior golf tournament called The Keystone Cup and through my Golfing Grinch program.
There are several ways to support me.
1) Make a donation, just because. Every donation, no matter the size, encourages me and makes a difference.
2) Sign up for a simulator session at my Canonsburg home. Choose from hundreds of golf courses around the world on the Skytrak simulator! Up to three golfers to make a foursome with me! Suggested donation: $25 for one hour or 18 holes on the sim - whichever is longer. If you beat me, your round is FREE! I also offer 45-minute coaching sessions for junior golfers which include simulator time plus chipping and putting on my five-hole putting green with Golden Bear turf. Suggested donation: $25 per session. Sign up for a spot here: signupgenius.com/go/10C0549A9A62FA6F8C52-57394999-golf (Don't see a time that works for you? Contact me at henrymanciu@gmail.com and we will find one!)

3) On August 15 and 16, 2026, I'll be hosting an AJGA PUMA state cup junior golf event at my favorite golf course, the Jack Nicklaus-designed Club at Nevillewood. I'll be inviting the best junior golfers from our area to compete, have fun in a Ryder Cup format, and raise funds for great causes! Interested in sponsorship opportunities? Email me at henrymanciu@gmail.com. Big thanks to the AJGA and my home course of Nevillewood for their support of this event.
4) Book a party or a home visit with me as the Golfing Grinch! Keep me in mind for your holiday events and to make your kids' season magical. Stay tuned for details in November.
The AJGA's Leadership Links program helps develop young men and women by teaching charitable giving skills and service oriented practices at an early age.
