Big Swings Start Small!
It starts with a first swing, a first lesson, and leads to an opportunity to discover what’s possible both on and off the golf course.
We would love to have you join us at our biggest event of the year! This is your best chance to hear from our wonderful participants, and learn more about all of the different things that we do! We hope to see you there!

Watch Highlights From Last Year’s Luncheon
First Tee does so much more than just teach golf. This year we were able to offer classes to thousands of kids including providing jobs for nearly 100 high schoolers. We also provided $10,000 College Scholarships to deserving participants, as well as a variety of other great programs. We were able to truly make a difference this year thanks to your generous donations!
We would like to share our vision/mission with guests who we can build relationships with long-term. Our goal is for people to help in a variety of ways, such as; volunteering, becoming a committee member, and helping us to develop new partnerships with other nonprofits and businesses.
A Message From Our CEO
“We are always looking to grow and improve the impact we are having on the children in our communities. We have proven to ourselves, and hopefully to you all as well, that we can have big dreams and we can achieve them. Our next goals are going to be even bigger and challenge us further. From here, we are going to try to bring our programs to every child in our service area, with a special emphasis on those that are overlooked: kids with disabilities, kids that are homeless, kids outside of traditional education institutions, and those that have fallen through the cracks.
For those of you who believed in us from the very beginning – from the bottom of my heart – thank you. Thank you for being a part of the First Tee Family. You are key to everything we have been able to accomplish and the lives we have been able to change.”
– Paula Purifoy, C.E.O. First Tee – Colorado Rocky Mountains
