THE FIRST TEE OF FORT WORTH
In December 2007, the Ben Hogan Foundation began its sponsorship of The First Tee of Fort Worth. The First Tee of Fort Worth is a wonderful organization influencing thousands of young people in the Fort Worth area. We are confident that the mission of the First Tee is consistent with that of the Ben Hogan Foundation and the legacy of Mr. Hogan. We are proud to support the First Tee because it is not only promoting the game of golf, but just as important, it is exposing children to life skills and the First Tee’s Nine Core Values - values such as character, honesty, and integrity. These values will help the youth involved in the First Tee program become better and more productive citizens as they become young adults.
In May 2008, the Ben Hogan Foundation has furthered its support of The First Tee of Ft. Worth by pledging to build the Ben Hogan Learning Center. This building will not only provide The First Tee of Ft. Worth office space and centers for teaching the game of golf, but it will also provide a library for children, a safe place to do school work and receive mentoring, and a museum that celebrates the life of Ben Hogan. The Ben Hogan Learning Center will be the visible proof that dreams do come true and those children from similar backgrounds to Mr. Hogan’s should aspire to achieve their dreams. An architectural rendering of the building is shown above.
