The Golf for Kids Benefit Outing supports The First Tee of Aurora and Fox River Valley, which funds scholarships that provide golfing opportunities and life skills through the game of golf for area youth and children.

Over the last two decades, the Fox Valley Park Foundation has helped raise more than $500,000 to fund scholarship programs that are offered in nearly 50 local schools. More than 3,000 local youth have benefitted from these scholarships.

"Our mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf," said First Tee program director Nicole Mullins.
