First Tee - Greater Topeka

We were proud to be a guest at the Topeka Public Schools Foundation Breakfast, where we announced an exciting partnership with the Foundation! ⛳

Through this partnership, First Tee – Greater Topeka will bring the game of golf into USD 501 schools through PE classes while creating additional opportunities for students to participate in special programming and on-course experiences. More importantly, these opportunities will use the game of golf as a vehicle to teach valuable life skills, build character, and help young people grow into confident leaders and positive members of our community.

We’re excited to partner with Topeka Public Schools Foundation to create more opportunities for young people and continue building Game Changers across our community!

⛳ What an incredible day on the course!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us last Friday for the First Tee – Greater Topeka Golf Fundraiser at Shawnee Country Club!

From our players and sponsors to our volunteers, board members, and coaches, we are so grateful for everyone who helped make this event a success.

Your support allows us to introduce more kids to golf, teach life skills that extend far beyond the course, and continue building Game Changers throughout our community. We couldn't do it without you!

Thank you for being part of our mission. We're already looking forward to next year!
