How is my monetary donation used?
More than 40% of our young people are participating on a scholarship due to their families’ economic status. They receive programs for $5 or less! Here is how your donation can move the needle in the lives of young people.

Participate in one of our events!
Annual Golf Marathon – Do you love to play golf, and play golf quickly? Play and support our kids at First Tee through our Annual Golf Marathon, held annually, typically in May-June, when the days have the highest amount of sunlight.
Players commit to raising $2,000 in pledges from their friends, family, and contacts. Most pledges come in per-hole pledges ($1/hole) or flat donations ($100). Last year, over 100 people participated!
Annual Golf Outing – Long ball hitter who loves scrambles? Put together a team and play at our Annual Golf Outing, typically held at Thousand Oaks Golf Course on the last Monday in July. In 2021, we are holding an Inaugural outing at Muskegon Country Club in August. We’d love to have you join us!
