This two-day golf event raises money to support Chi Chi’s two programs: The Chi Chi Academy and The First Tee of Clearwater. Over 2,200 children participate in these programs, providing them with safe healthy environments to learn and grow. The Academy serves at-risk 4th through 8th graders in a privately supported public school, using the golf course as a living classroom. The First Tee teaches life-skills and core values through golf. The primary goal of the Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation’s programming is to prepare students for the most important game of all, life.
