Hi, I'm Matthew! I'm excited to be a Shoe Guy for our 2025 fundraising event for First Tee Orange County. I have been teaching high school for five years and am deeply passionate about the game of golf. At First Tee - Orange County, I am dedicated to using golf as a tool to inspire and educate young people, helping them develop not only their athletic skills but also essential life skills. Help me reach my fundraising goal in any way you can, no amount is too little!

How does your donation help First Tee?
- $20 helps get our kids out on the golf course by covering a portion of the cost of their green fees
- $50 funds the cost of the rental clubs for one of our players during a 9-week session
- $75 helps fund scholarships/financial aid for our kids to participate in our programs (we don't turn any child away)
- $100 funds one player for a 9-week session of First Tee programming
Any donation amount will help reach more kids in Orange County with First Tee character building programming.
**All donations go directly to First Tee Orange County**

What is First Tee?
First Tee is a non-profit organization that's empowering young kids and teens through the game of golf paired with a life skills curriculum. They create learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids carry to everything they do. Their hope is that through these programs, they can enable kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges.
