Sentry Insurance joined First Tee as a Trustee in 2021. Their investment supports curriculum enhancements, technology innovations, ongoing research and expanding diversity and inclusion efforts for the growing network of 150+ First Tee chapters.
In addition, they are also the title sponsor for The Sentry, a PGA TOUR event held on the Hawaiian island of Maui. As title sponsor, Sentry strives to make a positive, year-round impact in the local community, supporting several non-profit organizations through the tournament, including First Tee – Hawaii.
This year, thanks to Sentry’s support, First Tee was represented in a variety of ways at the tournament. Highlights featured the First Tee Game Changers Experience, which included a putting game, coloring wall and shave ice, as well as the First Tee Autograph Zone presented by Sentry. First Tee – Hawaii participants also got the opportunity to act as standard bearers during the tournament.
