At the First Tee of Central New Mexico, it is our mission to provide mentorship and coaching to the youth in our community.  Through the game of golf, we teach young people values like Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy, and Judgment.  These are values that they can use both on and off of the golf course.

On Monday, April 22nd, I will be participating in The First Tee of Central New Mexico's 100-Hole Golf Marathon at Quail Run Golf Club.  I will be playing 100 holes of golf in one day in an effort to support the amazing work that The First Tee of Central New Mexico provides. With your support, we can continue to positively impact the lives of our students with golf programs that instill the crucial Life Skills needed to succeed in life.

I am asking for your support of my fundraising efforts in the form of a “per hole” donation of $0.25, $0.50, $1, or more.  You can also make a onetime donation of any amount you choose.  Please click on the "Donate Now" button to make your charitable contribution.  At the First Tee of Central New Mexico, we never turn any young person away becasue of an inability to pay for our programming. This is why every dollar raised is used to fund scholarships and programming fees.

You can win a Taylormade M5 or M6 Driver with a minimun donation of $25 to The First Tee of Central New Mexico Golf Marathon. For every $25 you donate, your name will be put into a drawing (example: if you donate $100, your name will be put in the drawing with four times better odds to win) that will be held on April 22nd at the golf marathon. You will have a chance to win either driver (you can only win one driver).

I thank you in advance for your support of this program, and the young people of New Mexico!

Sincerely,

Javier A. Ortega
