About Micaela Booth

Nonprofit Leader | Champion for the Quad Cities Community I believe that communities thrive when people show up—consistently, thoughtfully, and with purpose. For me, that belief has taken shape in nonprofit leadership, where purpose meets precision and impact is built one relationship at a time.My work centers on leveraging the energy of a PGA TOUR golf tournament to generate meaningful support for local charities. But beyond logistics and dollars raised, the work is deeply personal. It’s about ensuring organizations across education, healthcare, and social services have the resources they need to serve, grow, and lead boldly.The Quad Cities isn’t just where I work—it’s home. It’s a place defined by generosity, resilience, and people who care deeply about one another. I’m passionate about connecting donors, volunteers, and community partners in ways that turn goodwill into lasting change.When mission, community, and opportunity align, powerful things happen—and I’m honored to help make that happen every day.
