Signarama Partners with First Tee to Support Youth Development Through Golf

Signarama, the world's leading sign and graphics franchise, announced its support of First Tee, a nonprofit youth development organization that empowers kids and teens through the game of golf. The partnership makes Signarama a National Impact Partner and includes a grant program available to more than 100 First Tee Chapters across the United States. This collaboration represents a significant commitment to youth development programs that use sports as a vehicle for character building and skill development.

First Tee began in 1997 as a partnership among leading golf organizations to make the sport affordable and accessible for all children. The organization introduced both the game of golf and a life skills curriculum that supports the development of young people's self-confidence, resiliency skills, and inner strength. For more than two decades, First Tee has been committed to helping kids build character and important life skills by providing fun and safe personal growth opportunities at golf courses, schools, and community centers throughout the country. More information about the organization can be found at https://firsttee.org.

The grant program, which runs from October 1st through October 31st, allows First Tee chapters to apply for identification signage, facility signage, or vehicle graphics. Signarama will provide up to $75,000 in grants for signage at First Tee Chapters, with grantees being notified by December 2025. These grants can be used for various signage needs including event signage such as banners and feather flags to generate more attention at events, branding signage like wall murals and donor recognition plaques to showcase First Tee's mission and values, and vehicle graphics including vehicle lettering and wraps on all types of vehicles including trailers and golf carts.

A.J. Titus, President of Signarama, expressed pride in supporting First Tee, noting that the partnership reflects the company's commitment to supporting national programs that make a positive impact in local communities while inspiring the next generation of leaders. Jennifer Weiler, First Tee's senior vice president of network relations, emphasized that the grants from Signarama will help bring visibility to the important work their Chapters are doing in communities across the country. She expressed gratitude for Signarama's commitment to their mission of empowering kids through golf. The partnership demonstrates how corporate support can enhance the visibility and effectiveness of youth development programs nationwide.
