From its inception, we’ve supported the First Tee and their Nine Core Values which synergistically align with the personal attributes that Ben Hogan embodied and that we now work to empower and reward in young people.  

In May 2008, we furthered our support by pledging $500,000 to build the first Ben Hogan Learning Center. This pledge was fulfilled when the Center opened its doors in December of 2011. The Ben Hogan Learning Center not only provides The First Tee of Fort Worth office space and centers for teaching the game of golf, but it also provides a library for children, a safe place to do school work and receive mentoring, an instructional and swing room, a club repair room, a youth handout, and a museum that celebrates the life of Ben Hogan and the rich history of golf in Fort Worth. The Ben Hogan Learning Center is visible proof that dreams do come true and those children from similar backgrounds to Mr. Hogan’s should aspire to achieve their dreams.
