Leave a Legacy 

At First Tee – North Florida, we believe golf provides a powerful vehicle to help kids build inner strength and skills that they can apply to their everyday lives. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create experiences where kids feel excited to grow, safe to fail, and better equipped for whatever comes their way next.

First Tee – North Florida serves over 100,000 children annually in our service area: Clay, Duval, Flagler, Putnam, Nassau, St. Johns, and Volusia Counties. We hope you will join us in ensuring that our next generation will be prepared for their futures. Your gift will give them the opportunity to learn self-confidence and resiliency skills that will help them overcome any challenges they might face. Supporting First Tee – North Florida with a Legacy Gift will allow us to continue Building Game Changers.
