My Mission
As a woman in a male-dominated industry for 25 years, I said no to golf, impacting my growth and development. I am honored to have the chance to represent The Pro Shop HQ in the Chambers Bay Summer Solstice supporting First Tee - Greater Seattle. Golf has given me the confidence, patience, and strength to push well beyond what I believed were my limits in the last two years that I have been playing the game. The friendships I have built and the opportunities that have presented themselves will last a lifetime for me. Please help us by supporting our mission so the youth, especially the girls and young women, might have an easier journey into this vital game that teaches life skills they can use in all aspects of their lives. Golf should be accessible to everyone regardless of gender, where you are born, and the resources available to your family. Your support, big or small, will make a HUGE impact on changing this for our young people.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported us in the Chambers Bay Solstice 2024 event benefiting local chapters of the First Tee.
As a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women in architecture, engineering, and construction through golf, The Pro Shop HQ team is honored to have been part of this historic event.
Out of the 100 participants, we were proud to be 4 out of the 5 women who completed the challenge, achieving significant milestones such as being the first all-women team to complete 72 holes, covering an impressive 30 miles and 65,000 steps. These accomplishments are not just records on a scorecard but symbols of dedication, resilience, and the power of community coming together for a greater cause.
Moreover, thanks to your generous support, we raised $11,885 for First Tee, landing us in 3rd place on the fundraising leaderboard. Your contributions ensure that the fairway of opportunity remains open for all, especially girls and young women, as they discover their potential and build strong foundations for the future. With every swing, putt, and drive, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering leadership, equality, and success both on and off the course.
Thank you once again for your invaluable support. Together, we've not only raised funds but also raised futures, proving that when we unite for a common goal, there are no limits to what we can accomplish. Let's continue to champion the spirit of the First Tee and pave the way for brighter tomorrows.
In golf, as in life, it's the collective effort and the courage to take every shot that defines our journey. Here's to many more successful events and impactful moments ahead.
