AT&T Byron Nelson volunteer ensures patrons, players stay safe during tournament week

As a former FBI special agent, AT&T Byron Nelson volunteer Charlie Tusa seems perfectly suited for his role as chairman of tournament security. Charlie and his committee, many of whom are also former FBI agents, work closely with the PGA TOUR security team and local police to help safeguard the grounds and check visitor credentials.   Charlie and several security committee members have volunteered at the tournament for the past 16 years. They return to the AT&T Byron Nelson each year for the chance to support the tournament’s charity, Momentous Institute, and contribute to the tournament’s success. Momentous Institute (formerly Salesmanship Club Youth and Family Centers) has been powered by the Salesmanship Club of Dallas, a service organization of more than 600 business and community leaders committed to transforming kids’ lives. Charlie is a longtime member of the Salesmanship Club. Volunteers like Charlie are sharing their motivations for volunteering at AT&T Byron Nelson as part of the #IVolunteerBecause initiative. This fun onsite experience features volunteers at select tournaments and is part of the 2019 PGA TOUR Volunteer Appreciation Program Sponsored by Myrbetriq® (mirabegron). Myrbetriq® (mirabegron) is a prescription medicine manufactured by Astellas Pharma US, Inc. Astellas first became a PGA TOUR sponsor in early 2013 and is proud to partner with the PGA TOUR as both organizations share a deep commitment to the power of volunteerism and recognize the powerful impact made by giving back in local communities.
