Dear Friend, Every child deserves a place to belong, grow, and test their potential. At First Tee Syracuse, equity and inclusion guide our mission to support young people across Central New York. Right now, we have an exciting mission: bringing girls’ high school golf back to Syracuse. After the Syracuse City School District (SCSD) dropped its girls’ golf teams, local student-athletes lost a valuable space to grow, compete, and build confidence. We refused to let that be the end of their story. We launched a new SCSD girls’ golf team that now practices twice a week at Butternut Creek Golf Complex, preparing for exhibition matches in 2027 and full competition in 2028. First Tee provides everything: clubs, apparel, professional coaching, and access to our facilities. This initiative is just one example of how First Tee Syracuse creates opportunities for young people throughout Central New York, helping them develop confidence, character, and life skills that extend far beyond the golf course. As we approach the end of the year, we need your help to continue this important work. Will you help us reach our $10,000 year-end giving goal and make a difference in the life of a child? Your generosity supports First Tee Syracuse’s mission to provide meaningful opportunities for young people across our community, strengthening existing programs and helping us reach even more children. Please consider making a gift today. Together, we can help the next generation of young leaders discover their potential, both on and off the golf course. With gratitude,First Tee Syracuse
