💚 THIS IS OUR WHY.

It’s more than golf. It’s giving local kids opportunities to learn the game, build confidence, develop resilience, practice teamwork, and learn life skills they can use far beyond the course. ⛳️

Your donations help First Tee Northern Michigan provide youth programming, golf instruction, and life-skills experiences for kids in Marquette County and the surrounding area.

🥶 IT’S OUR FINAL WEEK TO DONATE!

Help us reach our $15,000 goal and keep these opportunities growing for local youth.

⛳💚 A FULL-CIRCLE MOMENT: MARC GILMORE & NOAH PETERSON partnering up for one mission.

Some golf stories come full circle, and this is one worth sharing.

Marc Gilmore first met Noah Peterson and his sister, Deni, years ago when their grandfather, Gordon Peterson, introduced them to the game of golf. Over the years, Marc watched Noah grow into a talented golfer and a remarkable young man.

In 2025, Noah faced a serious snowboarding injury that kept him off the golf course. Through hard work, determination, and resilience, he fought his way back to the game he loves. 💪

Now, Noah and Marc are teaming up for the 2026 Polar Golf Marathon on October 24! Noah has worked at Marquette Golf Club since 2019, and this partnership is especially meaningful as they join forces to support the next generation of young golfers.

Their story is a powerful reminder of what golf can teach us: perseverance, character, and how to grow through challenge.

💚 Help Marc and Noah make a difference for local youth! Every donation helps First Tee Northern Michigan provide opportunities for kids in our community to build golf skills and life skills.
