First Tee – Greater Akron

Empowering kids through golf & life skills ⛳

[First Tee – Greater Akron @FirstTeeGrAkron]

The greatest measure of our impact isn't a golf score—it's a child who believes in themselves.

That's the power of mentorship. ⛳ #FirstTee #GreaterAkron #BuildingGameChangers #YouthDevelopment

Some of the best friendships start in the most unexpected places. 💚⛳

At First Tee – Greater Akron, kids from different backgrounds come together through golf and build friendships that last far beyond the course.

Happy #BestFriendsDay! #FirstTeeGreaterAkron #GameChanger

I wrote about my daughter’s first experience with @FirstTeeGrAkron. It was all fun and games for her. It had a profound impact on me.
