Meet Our Partners

As a nonprofit organization The First Tee of Greater Chicago must fundraise 100% of its budget on annual basis. The chapter relies upon the generosity and support of area businesses, the Illinois golf industry and fellow nonprofits to fulfill our chapter’s mission of providing character education and golf programs to young people throughout Chicagoland communities.

The Partners Program is an annual affiliation that recognizes our key Corporate, Club and Community supporters whose contributions essentially make our programming possible and are Champions for The First Tee of Greater Chicago.

In addition to making an annual gift, Corporate Partners can also choose to participate in a variety of high-end golf and hospitality opportunities that provides guests a fun and special experience. These events include Luke Donald's Taste of The First Tee, The First Tee of Greater Chicago Golf Classic and more.

The First Tee of Greater Chicago Club Partners are public and private golf facilities that support the chapter on annual basis by committing to raise $2,500 or more through a variety of fundraising activities.

The First Tee of Greater Chicago Community Partners are associations, foundations and nonprofit organizations that provide our chapter monetary, in-kind and operational support that helps make our programming initiatives possible and provide advanced educational opportunities for our youth participants.
