About Fore The Kids
Young. Local.
All in.
A 501(c)(3) founded in 2019 by young professionals who decided giving back couldn't wait.
Our story
It started with one tournament.
Fore The Kids (FTK) was founded by Michael Diamond in June 2019, out of a desire to give back to the charities he grew up serving.
It began as a collective of young professionals committed to supporting youth through fundraising and volunteer work. Seven years later, FTK has 25 active members, all under the age of 30, setting an example for the next generation of givers.
Our signature events, the FTK Golf Tournament and KRLG Putt Putt, have helped us donate more than $875,000 to organizations that serve children in greater Phoenix.
Vision
Provide stability to children in need by engaging in their lives to help them form a brighter future.
Mission
Provide financial support to child development organizations so the youth of greater Phoenix reach their full potential.
