About Us
Combining a love for the game with a passion to give back.
OUR BEGINNING
Fore The Kids CT was founded by six lifelong friends that grew up together in Milford, CT. As we grew older, we were able to reflect on and cherish our upbringing in a small city with such a powerful sense of community and belonging. We wanted to find a way to give back to and strengthen the community that supported us in so many ways, exemplifying Milford’s motto: “A Small City with a Big Heart.” We feel compelled to support at-risk youth because of how vital they are to the future. By combining our love for golf and our desire to do good, we have organized an exceptional golf-based non-profit with the purpose of bringing our community together for fun, competitive events, full of camaraderie.
OUR VISION
Combining our love for golf with our desire to do good, we hope to have a significant, positive impact on the youth by bringing our community together for fun and philanthropy!
