About
History
Several years ago a group came together wanting to help a Fort Worth school serving underprivileged children. Led by two of the groups’ avid golfers, they decided to organize a fundraising golf tournament. The profits from the event would be used to buy bicycles for all the students who attained perfect attendance. The group successfully raised $10,000, which enabled them to award more than 60 new bicycles to qualifying students.
If one tournament could benefit so many; the possibilities of more frequent golf events were endless. As such, Fairway to Heaven was born.
