Programs to Support
First Tee (Unrestricted Funds)
First Tee — Inland Empire impacts over 37,000 children and individuals and over 35,000 participate free of charge each year.
LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Program
LPGA*USGA Girls Golf (Girls Golf) is the only junior golf program for girls that specializes in providing girl-friendly environments to learn the game of golf. The program is designed to empower girls ages 6-17 with confidence and teach them valuable life skills through the game of golf. By sponsoring this program, your funds will be used to support girls golf programming, financial assistance and scholarships, and special events.
JT Visbal Scholarship Program
Named in honor of First Tee — Inland Empire’s Co-Founder, the JT Visbal Scholarship Program is designed to help youth continue their post-secondary education. By sponsoring this program, you’ll be able to help ensure that our participants have access to educational opportunities once they age out of our program.
Tournaments and Play Days
FTIE hosts its own play days and tournaments to give kids more experience on the course. Friendly competitions take place every few months for the entire chapter. We call these “play days.” Advanced tournament offerings are held quarterly for the best players in our chapter. These include our own in-house tournaments and tournaments where our kids compete against kids from other local First Tee chapters. By sponsoring this program, you will receive exclusive naming rights on all in-house tournaments and play days and be able to financially support kids competing at the inter-chapter level.
