First Tee Birmingham Classic
Our Tournament Mission
First Tee is a youth development organization that enables kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges by seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum.
The First Tee - Birmingham Classic is an annual golf tournament hosted to raise awareness and support for the continued growth of the First Tee program in the metro Birmingham area.
We believe all kids deserve to feel excited to grow, safe to fail and better equipped for whatever comes at them next. Using golf to teach life lessons and leadership skills, First Tee helps youth develop their swing, but more importantly, their inner strength; self confidence, and resilience to become good golfers and even better people!
The goal in 2024 is to raise $50k to fund over 5 program locations along with the school and community programs, engaging over 5000 young people in the Birmingham area.
Through our local programming, we offer various opportunities for community partner involvement to make a positive impact on the lives of the kids we serve - join us in building Game Changers!
