Press release from the Tampa YMCA: May 20, 2021 The Tampa YMCA's First Tee – Tampa Bay program is proud to announce we have recently awarded 24 different students with a total of $54,960 in college/post-graduate scholarships. This is only possible because of the generosity of all of our donors. If any of the attached scholarship recipients sound like a story you want to pursue, please let me know! We would love to tell you more! First Tee – Tampa Bay reaches 90,000+ children each year through golf lessons, summer/spring break camp, afterschool programs and introductory programs in 175+ Hillsborough County Public Schools. Here's a nice testimonial from the father of one of our college scholarship winners: "As Fabrice winds down his senior year in high school, I think about all the opportunities and blessings that he's been granted for the past four years. None of which would have been possible if not for the First Tee of Tampa Bay and the generosity of all the donors. I've seen my son mature and rise up to many personal challenges and thanks to the Nine Core Values taught by The First Tee, Fab has pushed by each challenge. I sincerely thank you and each staff member, staff that is there and those that have moved on. You all truly played a intricate part in Fabrice's journey in life and in golf. A special thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Gary Koch for their blessings and generosity." - Cliff Laude This press release was produced by the Tampa YMCA. The views expressed here are the author's own.
