Fundraising Events
Our fundraising events are designed for our supporters, both individual and corporate. They are an excellent way for everyone to learn more about us while having fun. They also provide an excellent opportunity for corporations to sponsor our youth programs while possibly entertaining customers.
Each year, First Tee – Benton Harbor proudly organizes fundraising and community events to support our expanding participant base and broaden our impact. The generous contributions of our partners play a vital role in the success of each event. We proudly share news of our activities across Southwest Michigan.
