Happy FIRST TEE WEEK! No matter who you are or where you’ve been, chances are there’s a coach behind you. We're sharing messages from participants and alumni this First Tee Week to honor the coaches who shaped them — because no matter where life takes you, that relationship stays with you.

Our own alumni Emily Wirtz is grateful to Coach Brian and Coach Dorothy for impacting her life. Now living and working in Chicago, Emily continues to stay involved with our organization through the Greater Chicago chapter.
