| | Your Charitable Dollars at Work | |
Thanks to broad community support, construction is underway at F.M. Law Park Golf Course for our new building and parking lot ! This is an important step in the transformation of the facility for Phase I of our capital campaign.
Please note that the main parking area is currently under construction. Temporary parking will be available in the designated overflow lot, and directional signage is posted throughout the property. If you park along the drive way leading up to the course, please do not walk through the construction zone. After parking, participants and families are asked to use the marked pedestrian pathway behind the wedge range to safely access the proshop, preferably from the rear entrance. While construction may create a few temporary inconveniences, these improvements are helping build a stronger future for the thousands of young people who learn, grow, and play this course each year.
We invite you to consider supporting the capital campaign this holiday season.! Every gift, no matter the size, helps us create a more welcoming, accessible, and sustainable home for the next generation of Houston youth.
Together, we're not just improving a golf course, we're investing in the future of our community!
| | | F.M. Law Park Shootout - October 19, 2026 | | Teams are selling fast for the F. M. Law Park Shootout! This casual tournament is an important way to raise awareness about the needs of our main youth facility at F.M. Law Park Golf Course. While it’s a fundraiser for our current capital campaign, more importantly, this event is a celebration of what we’re building together—welcoming new friends to our facility to learn, connect, and honor the future of F. M. Law Park. Thanks to our lunch and beverage sponsors – Evan McMillen, Chris Walker, and Michael Kaufman – for another great Shootout event! | | Coach Brandon Promoted to Prorgam Director | |
