About Our Foundation

My grandfather Mack didn’t just teach me how to play golf, he taught me skills to be successful in life. Now, I want to give young people the same kind of opportunities that I’ve received over the years. Our foundation is dedicated to providing greater accessibility and inclusion in the game of golf, and to supporting kids in all aspects of their lives. I hope that you will Walk With Us.”

Our Beliefs

Sport as a Universal Language
Sport has the power to unite, tapping into young people’s passion while instilling values of honesty, grit, teamwork, and healthy living.

Golf as a Gateway
Golf has the power to change lives—not only through competitive success and scholarships, but also as a life skill that opens social and professional doors.

STEM for the Future
STEM skills are essential for the modern workforce, opening pathways to innovation and opportunity in rapidly growing fields.

Mentorship Matters
Mentors show young people what’s possible by modeling values, opening professional pathways, and emphasizing empathy and the importance of giving back.

Healthy Living
Nutrition and exercise are the foundation of a happy, healthy, and productive life.

Our Motivation

The Power of Physical Activity
Physically active children are less likely to face health challenges such as obesity, substance use, or depression. They also perform better in school, are more likely to attend college, and experience greater long-term success.

Golf as a Teacher
Through golf, young people learn integrity, sportsmanship, and hard work, while developing physical and social skills that last a lifetime.

Expanding Access to Golf
Golf has historically lacked broad representation. Increasing access ensures the game reflects the richness of all communities, while opening doors to scholarships, careers, and personal growth.

STEM Skills for the Future
Eighty percent of jobs created in the next decade will require technology, math, and science, yet many students graduate high school unprepared. Afterschool STEM programs provide hands-on learning, career exploration, and mentorship that build confidence and open pathways to future opportunities.

The Value of Mentorship
Mentorship changes lives. Young people with mentors are significantly more likely to enroll in college, avoid risky behaviors, and participate in sports and extracurricular activities.

Addressing Food Insecurity
Food insecurity affects millions of U.S. families, including many in our own communities. Ensuring children have access to nutritious meals is critical for academic success, health, and overall well-being.

Our Actions

Mack Champ Invitational

We established this tournament for the game’s best junior golfers of diverse backgrounds in 2020. In addition to providing an annual showcase for these players, the tournament is helping players and families navigate the world of competitive junior golf and college recruiting while building a sense of community for players who are too often the only players of color when they compete. Our 2020 field included players from 26 states, Canada and Costa Rica and several college programs, including USC, Tennessee and Howard. Learn more at mackchampinvitational.com.

Golf Programs

The Champ family manages Foothill Golf Course in Citrus Heights, CA, with the intention of making golf accessible to the community and especially its young people. Learn More

Scholarships

We believe that education is the key to success for all young people and the most important tool society has for closing the achievement gap for young people of color. To that end, we have established college scholarships named after legends who overcame obstacles to make golf more diverse and inclusive. We honor their legacies by investing in young people who are inspired to continue changing the face of the game. Learn More and Apply

STEM Programs

We are working to establish a program that will provide local students with tutoring, STEM instruction, golf instruction, nutritional assistance and mentoring.
