The 1st
Annual Maine Golf Foundation Invitational Tournament is being played on Monday,
August 16, 2010 at The Woodlands Club in Falmouth, Maine.
The goal of the 128 anticipated participants in this important tournament
event, dinner and live auction, is to raise over $100,000 to support the
programs and mission of the foundation.
The Maine Golf Foundation exists
to honor, sustain, and grow the game of golf in Maine and to promote the values
of honesty, integrity, and perseverance that the game teaches. Our primary focus
is to fund and manage programs that build character in youth through golf, such
as The First Tee. Our short term goals focus on reorganizing the Maine chapter
of The First Tee, including funding expanded programs into areas beyond greater
Portland, and to introduce The First Tee’s National School Program into Maine
public schools. Secondarily, The Maine Golf Foundation seeks to fund
scholarships in support of the higher education of many accomplished young
athletes and scholars in Maine.
To support our goals we are also
raising money through private solicitations to fund the purchase and renovation
of The Maine Golf House in Cumberland, Maine. The Maine Golf House will serve as
the home of the Maine Golf Foundation, and will include the central offices of
The First Tee program, the Maine Golf Hall of Fame museum, a conference center,
and administrative offices for the seven Founding Partners of the Maine Golf
Foundation. The one central location will result in lower administrative
cost for each organization and increased collaboration toward the collective
goal of a vibrant golf environment for all aspects of the game. The Maine Golf
Foundation has a critical role to play in the future of golf in Maine.
The Maine Golf Foundation seeks to serve the community by being an advocate for
preserving the traditions and history of the game, introducing and educating new
generations to the sport, and facilitating the growth of the sport and business
of golf. Join us in achieving our mission by lending your financial support to
this worthy event.
