Ways to Give

With continued support, First Tee Northeast Wisconsin will teach even more young people life skills and help them acquire core values through the game of golf. Enabling them to be successful on and off the golf course, and ultimately to achieve their fullest potential.

With participant fees only covering less than half of our program costs and with the number of players we have on scholarship, we rely on the generosity of our community members to insure that our programs remain affordable and accessible to youth ages 4-18, who now have an opportunity to be exposed to the game of golf.

You can continue to make a difference today that can last a lifetime. Here are ways you can help:

• $1,000 underwrites one full year of golf and educational programming for one player in our program.
• $250 underwrites one 9-week session of golf and educational programming for one player in our program.
• $100 underwrites healthy snacks for 12 players for one 9-week session in our program.
