Every success story begins somewhere. Whether it’s a broken home with an absentee parent or a crowded inner city classroom. But it is not where they begin that matters. It’s how they end.

Since 1997, The First Tee has introduced the game of golf and its inherent values to the more than five million young people. On golf courses, in elementary schools and on military installations, we’ve helped shape the lives of young people from all walks of life by teaching them values like integrity, respect and perseverance through the game of golf.

But for every young person positively impacted by The First Tee, there are even more that don’t have the opportunity to experience it.

Join us in The First Tee Campaign for 10 Million Young People as we seek to raise funds that will expand the reach of our character education and life skills programs to help young people prepare for success in high school, college and life.

Your support through donations, booking tee times for the Tee It Up program, and involvement with chapters will help us guide more young people in the right direction through golf.

"I can't tell you how vital The First Tee has become in reviving my son Vincent's sense of purpose and hope in the wake of his Dad's passing. Just last night he recognized a man's Titleist golf cap and mustered up the boldness to approach and introduce himself as a "fellow golfer." After striking up a friendly conversation, he returned to his seat on cloud nine!" -Frances Tucci, parent, The First Tee of Howard County, Maryland
