Volunteer
We are looking for volunteers to help in all aspects of our programs.
Support Participant Scholarships
The Herb Lusk First Tee Academic Scholarship is awarded annually to one or more First Tee students as an academic scholarship to attend the Roman Catholic High School. There is currently a dollar-for-dollar match up to $100,000 being offered by an anonymous donor to grow the scholarship and impact more students.
Corporate Volunteer Opportunities
We offer individual and group volunteer opportunities at either of our two green grass facilities. Volunteers are instrumental in supporting our coaching staff, and can also help us with indoor and outdoor improvement projects.

Alumni
Root for the Philadelphia Eagles this season!
Thanks to our new partnership with Philadelphia Area Chevrolet Dealers, each Eagles field goal scored will equal a $500 donation to First Tee — Greater Philadelphia.
Touchdowns will always get us cheering—but this year, those field goals are fueling the future!
Donor Advise Funds
A donor advised fund (DAF) is an easy and tax-efficient way to support First Tee – Greater Philadelphia. If you have a DAF with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, or another provider, you can recommend a grant directly to us using the following information: our legal name, tax ID number, mailing address, and development contact (Matt DiBattista) for any questions.
Individual Retirement Accounts
If you are over age 70 1/2, you may give a gift from your IRA as a tax-free distribution. This means an amount (up to $100,000) transferred from your IRA directly to First Tee — Greater Philadelphia can count toward your minimum required distribution without being considered as taxable income for you. Please contact Matt DiBattista to let us know you have chosen to make such a gift, as IRA administrators often do not include the accountholder’s name when they send a check.
