Together with the Houston Golf Association, The First Tee-Greater Houston seeks to build character, teach life skills and wellness through the fun and engaging platform of golf. Your financial assistance and equipment donations ensure bright futures for Houston’s area youth.
We could not reach hundreds of thousands of young people and families each year without the 3,885 volunteer hours in 2019 by amazing mentor coaches like Dr. Swafford. Please take a few minutes to hear Dr. Swafford’s testimonial.
F.M. Law Park Capital Campaign
F.M. Law Park spans 2,473 yards of natural turf at Houston’s only nine-hole municipal golf club for kids of all skill levels. The park is in an underserved part of the community and positively impacts thousands of youth annually through First Tee – Greater Houston – a program that builds character, instills life-enhancing values and promotes healthy choices through the game of golf.
Donations
Help us reach our goals of teaching character, life skills and wellness through the fun and engaging platform of golf through your financial assistance. Your contribution goes a long way to ensuring the bright futures of Houston’s area youth. Now offering three different ways to donate: One Time Donations, Reoccurring Monthly Gifts and Round-up Gifts!
Tribute Gifts
First Tee accepts gifts in memory or in honor of anyone you want to designate. Simply select the first box “I’d like to give in honor/memory” then, a pop up box allows you to select a tribute of “In Honor” or “In Memory” so we can let the family or honorary person know of your gift. This is a great way to remember people or give a gift for those hard to shop for.
Fundraising Events
In addition to our regular programming for kids, we also have special events throughout the year in which we invite the community to come out and support First Tee and our fundraising efforts.
