The Golf Course Builders Association of America (GCBAA) Foundation, the charitable arm of the Golf Course Builders Association of America, has as its Mission to provide youth, from elementary through college, with the tools and opportunities to explore the game of golf and potential careers in the golf industry. The GCBAA was founded in 1971 as a nonprofit association of golf course builders and suppliers to the golf course construction industry. Since its inception, GCBAA has sought to formulate programs encouraging participation in golf and promote careers in golf related industries. In 1997, GCBAA members introduced the Sticks for Kids Program as a mechanism to enable the youth of America to experience the game of golf in a positive manner. The Program focuses on the positive aspects of golf including knowledge and understanding of rules, etiquette, discipline, integrity, safety, environmental awareness and related life skills. The lack of opportunity for the underprivileged youth of America to learn and participate in golfing activities was a primary consideration in the Program?s development and target audience. The Foundation was established in 2001 as an independent entity to further this work. Our mission remains committed to providing youth with the tools and opportunities to explore the game of golf; an activity that can be played a lifetime and positively influence health, behavior and relationships. The vision of the original members of the GCBAA to give to others a love for the game which played such a major role in their lives has remained constant.
