Findlay, Ohio-Pukka, today announced their partnership with The First Tee, a youth sports organization that introduces the game of golf and its inherent values to young people.
The First Tee has a rich 20-year history helping to shape kids’ lives with in-school and after-school programs that reinforce The First Tee’s nine core values – honesty, integrity, respect, sportsmanship, perseverance, confidence, courtesy, judgement and responsibility — through the game of golf. As the game continues to get younger, this was a perfect time for Pukka to join forces with this influential group that offers programs at more than 10,000 elementary schools, 1,300 youth centers and 1,200 golf courses.
Pukka has developed an on-trend, dynamic youth offering amongst their headwear collections. They have keyed in on what the younger pros are wearing on and off the course – larger logos, vibrant colors, flat visors, raised embroidery and high crown silhouettes. Their upcoming 2019 collection that launches July 1 is unrivaled within the industry, as none of their competitors cater to the youth of this sport with their product line like Pukka.
“We are excited to partner with Pukka and look forward to a long-lasting relationship that will help build awareness for our mission and ultimately grow the game of golf,” said Jennifer Weiler, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer for The First Tee. “Generous partners like Pukka help us to continue to do great work and shape the lives of millions of kids.”
