Tennessee Golf Foundation

Entertainer and Tennessee Golf Hall of Fame Member Vince Gill has said so often, “if you give kids a choice, I trust they will make the right one.” Golf is the game that helps build an important framework for making good decisions. The theme of the campaign this year is "Impact the game. Impact the future."

The Tennessee Golf Foundation mission is to make a difference in young people’s lives through golf. With programs across the state expanding due to higher interest levels, donor support is critical for growth and stability. 6,500 young people were in TGF operated or sponsored programs last year across the state, including growth on our Junior Tour, The First Tee and junior golf graduates playing on college golf teams. Starting in March, the foundation's new program, the Tennessee Middle School Golf Association will beginwith more than 500 players – many that are new to organized golf.

Our “membership” designations have been at the core of our successful annual giving campaigns, and our theme of “having fun while doing good” remains constant. Even with this great list of activities, many tell us that the most satisfying “benefit” received is knowing that our young people are involved in a healthy and character-developing sport. Please consider donating today. Any size gift is appreciated and will help us build positive developmental assets in our young people.

THANK YOU!
