The organization's 12th Annual Fundraising Golf Tournament is slated for Monday, April 25, and while tee times are sold out, there are still ways to contribute. "There are a number of sponsor- ships available ranging from $500 to $2,500," said tournament volunteer Bill Morrow, a member of the host course Desert Horizons Country Club. "They include tee signage and food and beverage sponsorships, among other things." A virtual auction will also take place April 12-26, where people can bid on items such as sports mem- orabilia, travel and more. The annual golf tournament is the biggest fundraiser of the year for FTCV, and helped raise $125,000 for the group last year. Sponsoring the event provides much more than giving young people a chance to learn golf. "Simply, the program helps to de- velop better citizens and future leaders," Morrow said. ............................................................. >  Click here for sponsorship oppor- tunities or contact Executive Direc- tor Teal Guion at (760) 834-6790 or tguion@ftcv.org. >  Click here to bid on virtual auction items beginning April 12. GET INVOLVED! Leading the way Series at PGA TOUR Superstore helps kids set goals and choose career paths W ith the help of PGA TOUR Superstore, the leaders of the future are being groomed today. The First Tee Leadership Series, a national program held in partnership with PGA TOUR Superstore, is an empowering five-week series designed to provide teens the opportunity to build relationships, uncover leadership values and strengths, identify potential career paths, and develop goals to attain their desired profession. Seven members of the First Tee – Coachella Valley took part in the recently held series locally at the PGA TOUR Super- store in Palm Desert. The series gave participants the opportu- nity to take part in group activ- ities to discuss goal setting and explore career options. "This program helps our teens learn more about them- selves as a person – their gifts, talents, core values, and person- ality – so that they can choose a career and education path that best fits their needs," said Executive Director Teal Guion. The PGA TOUR Superstore not only donates $15,000 an- nually to FTCV, but General Manager Molly Faris sits on the Board of Directors. "She has committed to help outfit participants in need with the equipment necessary to be come successful on the golf course," Guion said. "Molly also does an amazing job delivering the Leadership Series and she is a fantastic role model to our participants." First Tee – Coachella Valley participants.
