The First Tee of Greater Chicago, a 501 (c) 3 organization, is one of nearly two hundred chapters located throughout the country and in five international locations dedicated to impacting the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.

ABOUT LUKE DONALD AChampion for TFTGC, Luke Donald Serves as its Honorary Chairman and has directly helped raise over 2 million dollars for the charity through the annual wine tasting event, personal contributions and a host of other charitable ways. Luke s impact with the charity extends beyond fundraising to the young people it serves. As one Eagle Level participant wrote to the chapter: I am so grateful to Luke Donald and his family for their dedication to the game of golf, but more importantly to First Tee participants like myself. A Champion on Tour, Luke ascended to the top of the World Rankings in 2011, a position he held for 55 weeks. He made history by becoming the first player ever to finish number 1 on both the PGA TOUR and European Tour money lists in the same season, and won Player of the Year honors on both Tours. Despite his hectic global schedule, home with his wife, Diane, and their three young daughters, is where Luke loves to be most.

4 SPONSORSHIP HAS COOL PRIVILEGES This signature event is an ideal networking opportunity with a substantial, sophisticated audience who are passionate about the game of golf and intrinsic values associated with the game. Our sponsors will join Luke and his special guests one hour before the main event for a private pre-party VIP reception that features gourmet foods and exclusive special vintages that won't be available for the rest of the evening. Earlier in the day, sponsors will attend a private golf clinic hosted by Luke and Northwestern University Director of Golf, Pat Goss and then will play at local private golf club. The Taste of The First Tee also provides the Presenting Sponsor the exclusive opportunity to reward clients and employees with a VIP experience and to showcase a product or service (subject to TFTGC approval) during the event, developing new customer prospects.
