Why does First Tee need an Endowment?
First Tee – Roanoke Valley places a special emphasis on providing quality instruction to those kids who otherwise may not have an opportunity to experience the game of golf. Every participant who receives free or reduced lunch at public school is eligible for a scholarship. Our First Tee program benefits participants by offering a caring, supervised, and safe environment to spend free time, emphases physical exercise, and encourages academic success.
A gift to First Tee – Roanoke Valley’s endowment will keep alive the goal of putting a golf club in the hand of every youngster in the Valley – and providing our youth with the classroom and green grass learning opportunities for them to acquired common values and skills required for golf and full-filling life.
