First Tee - Orange County

🏆 Celebrating Our Golf-A-Thon Champions! 🏆
We had an incredible turnout at our very first Golf-A-Thon, and we couldn't let the day wrap up without giving a huge shoutout to our TOP two fundraisers!

🥇 Pamela raised an amazing $1,500
🥈 Ian raised an incredible $1,200

Thank you, Pamela and Ian, for going above and beyond to support the children of First Tee – Orange County. Your efforts mean that more kids — regardless of their family's financial situation — will have the opportunity to participate in our 9-week program. Because at First Tee – Orange County, we never turn a child away. Ever. 💛

⏰ BUT WAIT — TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO DONATE!
If you've been thinking about giving, now is the moment. It is not too late to make a real difference in a child's life. Every single dollar raised supports our financial aid program and ensures that cost is never a barrier to growth, confidence, and opportunity on the course — and beyond.
