First Tee – Silicon Valley was the recipient of a generous $15,000 grant from CordeValle Youth Golf Foundation (CYGF). This will underwrite our 2023 Volunteer and Instructor Uniforms (hats & shirts) and a portion of our paid lead Instructor salaries. We are a growing chapter that relies heavily on golf enthusiasts and youth development foundations like CYGF to support our mission.
About CordeValle Youth Golf Foundation
The non-profit CordeValle Youth Golf Foundation was founded in 2004. The foundation’s mission is to expand access to the sport of golf for children of all income levels by directly supporting successful youth golf programs throughout the Santa Clara County. The goal is to provide youth with the opportunity to learn the sport, receive lessons and equipment. Additionally, have access to practice space, and compete, and build positive life skills.
The Foundation annually awards approximately $100,000 in grants to deserving programs. This foundation is funded through a $50,000 annual contribution from CordeValle Golf Club. Also, they raise an additional $50,000 per year through CordeValle’s public charity tournaments.
CordeValle Youth Golf Foundation and First Tee – Silicon Valley are equally committed to expanding opportunities for youth of all income levels to access to the game of golf. Through the discipline and challenge of golf, youth in the Santa Clara County are provided a community with a safe environment and positive life alternatives that build confidence and character, ultimately helping them succeed in our community and in life.
CordeValle has been the location for our annual FTSV Invitational since 2005.
