It means a mom doesn’t have to choose between staying in the hospital with her child or going to work to pay the rent.

By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create active learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids can carry to everything they do. We’re Building Game Changers through our junior golf programs.
We are so very grateful to the JSFF for supporting First Tee – Greater Dallas. This summer our primary teaching facility, the Robert C. Vaughn Leadership and Learning Center at Trinity Forest, will celebrate seven years of operation. There have literally been thousands of kids and teenagers served at this program location and we definitely need to address the wear and tear that has occurred. The grant will largely go to repairing our parking lot, which is admittedly in need of attention. The second initiative will be to replace the electronic gates that provide access to the facility’s parking lot. We are down to a single operating gate and the grant could not have been more timely as we head into our busy summer season! Thank you all for helping us serve our community. It is definitely a community partnership and we are very appreciative of your support.
