Balionis also runs her own charitable endeavor that merges her passion for golf and dogs. It's called Puppies and Golf, a group dedicated to dog welfare. Puppies and Golf raise money to offer grants to families, shelters, and dog rescues. It also strives to pair US military veterans requiring assistance with dogs ready for adoption.
Meanwhile, Balionis has shared six things she's grateful for during a trip to New York after wrapping up her final golf event of the year. Earlier this month, she announced in a farewell post that she had covered her last golf event of the year.
Despite becoming one of the most recognizable faces in golf broadcasting, Balionis is taking a break from the sport to take on a different role in the coming weeks. She's set to return to the NFL for the new season, which kicks off in two weeks. It seems she chose to spend some time in New York with friends, returning to the city where she graduated from Hofstra University.
Balionis used Instagram to share how she's been enjoying her downtime in New York between her final golf event of the year and the start of the new NFL season. She posted a series of selfies and pictures of her out and about in New York with friends, as well as images of the city's skyline and the places she visited.
Captioning the montage, she wrote: "And so concludes my summer in New York. The city that shaped me in my 20's, fortified me all these years later. Grateful for: All of the adventures with old friends and new. Dive bars. Endless wandering and discovering. Soup dumplings. A renewed desire to create both personally and professionally. Bodega coffee. Knowing I can always return to a city that fills my soul and feels like home."
