The Impact of Your Generosity
Every crew mate who steps through our gates helps steer us toward a brighter future. Your support empowers students, uplifts teachers, and provides vital help for families. Together, we fuel three exceptional organizations creating lasting change—nationwide and right in your own backyard.
The Flutie Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by autism. From funding education and recreational programs to providing direct resources and support, they help families overcome everyday challenges and thrive.
A word from this Giving Partner:
Putting for Progress has been one of the Flutie Foundation’s longest-running and most impactful partnerships. Year after year, Pirate’s Cove staff and customers go above and beyond to change lives for people with autism and their families. In total, this partnership has generated almost $200,000 - which supports critical services like safety tracking devices for children with autism who are prone to wandering, iPads for communication for non-verbal people, and career development services for young adults with autism. We have enjoyed visiting your various courses over the years. Our STARS of the Spectrum golf league participants have played multiple rounds at your Orlando course, and our autism self-advocates and families have visited many other locations over the years as well. We are always greeted with a friendly and welcoming smile. We can’t wait for this year’s campaign and look forward to our continued deep and impactful partnership. Thank you so much!”
BellXcel transforms the lives of children in underserved communities by delivering high-quality academic and enrichment programs through school partnerships. Their summer and after-school models support K–8 students with small-group instruction, mentoring, and family engagement — helping students grow in confidence, improve attendance, and boost academic success.
A word from this Giving Partner:
“Thank you for helping us drive brighter futures for youth across the nation and for supporting BellXcel’s mission to ensure that all children—especially those in underserved communities—have the opportunity to excel. Your participation in “Putting for Progress” helps us expand access to tools and resources that schools and youth organizations need to deliver high-quality learning and enrichment experiences beyond the classroom, putting more young people on the path to lifelong success each year! Unfortunately, funding reductions and economic uncertainty have presented significant challenges for summer and (as we look to the fall) afterschool program leaders. Many are facing difficult choices, such as shortening the length of their programs, reducing staff, or even canceling programs entirely—opportunities that are critical to supporting local youth. With the demand for quality youth programming at an all-time high, your support will ensure youth continue to receive quality programs in their communities, and we are grateful!”
DonorsChoose connects donors directly with public school classrooms in need. Teachers post real project requests, and donors can choose exactly where their money goes — from basic supplies to tech tools and science kits. Each of our participating golf courses will support classrooms in their own local communities through DonorsChoose.
