Tee Up FORE Success — Giving Tuesday Event

Our Giving Tuesday celebration, Tee Up FORE Success, was a truly special evening for First Tee — Athens. As we close out the year, we’re still reflecting on the energy, connection, and inspiration this event brought to our community.

One of the most meaningful moments of the night came during a Q&A with two of our remarkable participants and their parents. Hearing them speak with confidence, honesty, and excitement about their experiences brought our mission to life in the most powerful way. Their stories reflected exactly why First Tee — Athens exists—and why this work matters.

Whether you joined us in person or are catching up here, we are grateful for the support that continues to strengthen our growing chapter. With a full year of programming now behind us, the momentum is unmistakable. Kids and teens across Athens are building character, discovering new opportunities, and developing skills that will carry them far beyond the golf course.

As we move through the giving season and look ahead to 2026, that momentum fuels our commitment to expanding access, deepening impact, and reaching even more young people with mentorship, character education, and experiences they may not otherwise have.

Thank you for believing in this mission and being part of the First Tee — Athens community. Together, we’re creating opportunities that last a lifetime.
