Signarama Partners with First Tee to Support Youth Development Through Golf
Signarama's $75,000 grant program for First Tee chapters highlights corporate commitment to youth development and community impact through strategic nonprofit partnerships.
Signarama, the world's leading sign and graphics franchise, announced its support of First Tee, a nonprofit youth development organization that empowers children and teenagers through golf while helping them build character and life skills. The partnership establishes Signarama as a National Impact Partner, creating a grant program available to more than 100 First Tee chapters across the United States.
The significance of this corporate-nonprofit collaboration extends beyond financial support, representing a strategic alignment between business resources and community development. First Tee, which began in 1997 as a partnership among leading golf organizations, has spent more than two decades making golf affordable and accessible while simultaneously delivering a life skills curriculum that develops young people's self-confidence, resilience, and inner strength.
"Signarama is proud to support First Tee," said A.J. Titus, President of Signarama. "This partnership reflects our commitment to supporting national programs that make a positive impact in local communities while inspiring the next generation of leaders."
The practical implementation of this partnership includes a grant program running from October 1st through October 31st, where First Tee chapters can 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 notified by December 2025.
The grants can be used for various signage needs including event signage such as banners and feather flags to generate attention at events, branding signage including wall murals and donor recognition plaques to showcase First Tee's mission and values, and vehicle graphics including lettering, removable magnets, and wraps on trailers and golf carts. These visual elements serve as mobile advertisements for the organization's mission while enhancing chapter visibility.
"These grants from Signarama will help bring visibility to the important work our Chapters are doing in communities across the country," said Jennifer Weiler, First Tee's senior vice president of network relations. "We are grateful for Signarama's commitment to our mission of empowering kids through golf."
The partnership demonstrates how corporate resources can amplify nonprofit impact through targeted support. For more information about First Tee, visit https://firsttee.org. Additional details about Signarama are available at https://www.signarama.com and https://www.signaramafranchise.com.
