GivingTuesday happens every year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving! If BlackFriday and CyberMonday were not enough, GivingTuesday rounds off the extended Thanksgiving weekend in good fashion. Taking the time to “give back” to the community is exactly what non-profit work is all about. Please remember to support all of our local charities, both on GivingTuesday and throughout the year. We at The First Tee appreciate your support, as do the many other charitable organizations that carry out important work in our community. To learn more, please visit our “
Ways To Give” summary that details multiple ways to show your support of The First Tee of Omaha!
The 7th Annual Steve Hogan Memorial Golf outing was held at Shoreline Golf Course on Friday, September 30, 2016. Sponsors, golf participants and event donors raised over $25,000 for the Hogan’s Junior Golf Heroes Foundation – The First Tee of Omaha.
