About KLUBS4KIDS
Our Mission
At Klubs4Kids, our mission is to enrich the lives of all children, regardless of their background, by making the game of golf accessible and transformative.
We are dedicated to leveling the playing field—providing youth with not only access to expert golf instruction and equipment but also the academic support, mentorship, and life skills they need to succeed.
We believe that golf is much more than a sport; it is a powerful tool for developing discipline, focus, resilience, and teamwork, qualities that will serve our participants throughout their lives.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build a sustainable, community-driven model that empowers children to grow into confident leaders both on and off the greens. In our first year, we aim to establish a strong community presence through targeted outreach and resource acquisition.
By our second year, we will forge strategic partnerships with industry leaders to secure high-quality equipment and support. In the third year, we envision developing a dedicated facility where children can receive tutoring, professional golf instruction, and mentorship, creating new job opportunities for local graduates.
Ultimately, by year four, we plan to expand our successful model nationwide—ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to experience the transformative power of golf.
A Letter From Chris
Dear Friends and Supporters,
I'm Chris, the founder of Klubs4Kids, and I want to share a little bit about why this organization means so much to me. For centuries, golf has been seen as an exclusive pastime—a game reserved for those with deep pockets and a privileged background. I’ve seen it all my life, and I couldn’t stand by and watch as so many children were left out of an experience that could teach them so much about life. Golf, to me, is more than just a sport. It’s a powerful tool for personal growth and community building—a way to learn discipline, integrity, and teamwork that goes far beyond the course.
At Klubs4Kids, our mission is simple: to make golf accessible to every child, regardless of their background, by breaking down the old barriers. We start by offering equipment through donations or at low cost, and then we build on that foundation with expert coaching, tutoring, and mentorship. This isn’t just about learning how to swing a club—it’s about instilling patience, focus, and resilience that will serve our kids throughout their lives.
I believe in leveling the playing field. I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to step up, try something new, and discover their potential. And that’s exactly what we’re doing at Klubs4Kids. Whether you’re a parent, volunteer, donor, or corporate sponsor, your support helps us create a safe and inspiring space where kids can learn, grow, and ultimately thrive both on and off the greens.
Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our mission. I invite you to join us—whether as a participant, volunteer, or supporter—in shaping the future, one swing at a time. Together, we can transform the lives of our children and build a legacy of community, courage, and opportunity.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Chris Gordon

Each goal is designed to create a holistic support system that nurtures not just athletic talent, but overall personal and academic growth.
Our Impact
At Klubs4Kids, we measure our success by the positive changes in our community and the growth of each child we serve.
Through hands-on golf instruction, competitive tournaments, and comprehensive after-school mentorship, we have already begun to transform lives by building confidence, discipline, and resilience in our young athletes.
Our initiatives have sparked enthusiasm in communities once sidelined by exclusivity, proving that when children have access to quality programs, their potential knows no bounds.
With every swing, every lesson, and every success story, our impact resonates—building a legacy of empowered youth who are ready to lead and inspire the future.
