Signarama Partners with First Tee to Support Youth Development Through $75,000 Signage Grant Program

Signarama, the world's leading sign and graphics franchise, has announced a significant partnership with First Tee, establishing the company as a National Impact Partner for the youth development organization. This collaboration creates a grant program available to more than 100 First Tee chapters throughout the United States, providing crucial support for the nonprofit's mission of empowering children and teenagers through golf while helping them build character and life skills.

The partnership reflects Signarama's commitment to supporting national programs that create positive impacts in local communities while inspiring future leaders, according to company President A.J. Titus. The grant program, running from October 1 through October 31, allows First Tee chapters to apply for identification signage, facility signage, or vehicle graphics. Signarama will provide up to $75,000 in grants, with recipients being notified by December 2025.

First Tee began in 1997 as a collaboration among leading golf organizations to make the sport affordable and accessible for all children. The organization introduced both the game of golf and a life skills curriculum designed to develop young people's self-confidence, resilience, and inner strength. For more than two decades, First Tee has provided personal growth opportunities at golf courses, schools, and community centers across the country.

The grants can be used for various signage needs including event signage such as banners and feather flags to generate attention at functions, as well as removable yard signs to highlight donors. Branding signage options include facility signage like wall murals, donor recognition plaques, and interior signage that showcase First Tee's mission and values. Vehicle graphics represent another significant category, with opportunities for vehicle lettering, removable magnets, and partial or full wraps on all types of vehicles including trailers and golf carts.

Jennifer Weiler, First Tee's senior vice president of network relations, emphasized that these grants will help increase visibility for the important work being done by chapters nationwide. She expressed gratitude for Signarama's commitment to First Tee's mission of empowering youth through golf.

The signage and graphics provided through the grant program will help chapters attract more participants, recognize donors, and strengthen their brand presence, ultimately supporting the organization's goal of reaching more young people with its character-building programs.
