"At the Foundation's Training Session, I was most excited to learn about the funding and grants that are available for the program. People often don't get involved in these kinds of activities because of the cost - but this is really an accessible opportunity."

FCA JUNIOR GOLF CAMP SCHOLARSHIP HAS BEEN CHANGING KIDS' LIVES SINCE 2000!

"Thank you so much for the scholarship to attend the FCA Junior Golf Camp. I had a ton of fun and made a lot of new friends that I am still in touch with. I am hoping to participate in more upcoming events through the Kids Golf Foundation, and am glad I have participated in others because of you. I learned a lot and am very grateful."

“I really appreciated all the help and advice from my mentor. My favorite part of Thinking Outside The Tee Box was being able to talk to my mentor about things we are both interested in.”

"After attending the Foundation's Training Session, I have a more complete and better understanding of the program. Attending has also given me more ideas on how to get our community involved whether it be our Park District and MacMurray College. I think they will both be able to help us implement our golf programs."

“It was a very rewarding experience for me to be a part of Thinking Outside The Tee Box. My partner and I talked about many things, mainly preparation and balance – together, we recognized that there is always time for others, but what’s most important is making time for yourself.”

"Other Side of the Green is for the kids to talk with someone in the field so they can get a basic understanding of what it is they want to do and what it is they have to look forward to as well as how to further their education."

"As married adults, we don’t often have the opportunity to continue playing organized 'team' sports. So we look at golf as a team sport, within our marriage, which requires us to regularly stay aware of our behavior, be considerate of each other and supportive of each other’s game!

The game of golf has allowed us to volunteer together through the Kids Golf Foundation to provide mentorship for those who can benefit the most from contact with adults - young students!"

“The program is more than kids learning the basic fundamentals of golf. The guest speakers that participate in the program provide a very positive message about making the right choices now and later in life.”

“Golf has opened the door for so many new experiences for me, several of which were offered through the Kids Golf Foundation. I started volunteering with the Foundation four years ago and have been able to see the joy young golfers have by participating in events like Thinking Outside The Tee Box.”
