Isaac Ahn
Welcome to my Leadership Links Fundraising Page!
My name is Isaac Ahn, and I am a junior in high school from Rochester, MN! I have been playing golf since I was 5 years old, and I have been competing since I was 9. When I first got into the game, my parents saw that I really enjoyed swinging a club, so they signed me up for the local First Tee program. My joy in learning and playing with other kids, as well as the amazing volunteers and staff, grew my interest in the sport ineffably. My time at The First Tee set me up for an incomparable junior career in golf, that has equipped me with a plethora of life lessons that have guided me in my decision-making on and off the course.
Golf teaches people how to think under pressure, how to react to misfortune, how to embrace the present moment, and more importantly, how to interact positively with other people. I want every child to have the opportunity to be able to learn what I did through The First Tee. This passion is why I have chosen to help raise funds for The First Tee - Minnesota.
My goal is to raise $10,000 for The First Tee - Minnesota, and the American Junior Golf Association Ace Grant, which provides financial assistance to young men and women who aspire to play college golf. Descriptions of both The First Tee - Minnesota and the AJGA are below.
Please consider making a donation to help fund the work of these incredible organizations. When you click the DONATE button, you can make a one-time donation, or pledge to contribute for every birdie I make in tournaments this year! (I made a little over 100 last year). To contribute via check, please make the check out to "AJGA - ACE Grant" and send to:
American Junior Golf Association
Attn: ACE Grant
1980 Sports Club Drive
Braselton, GA 30517
(Please also include my name in the memo line)
Sincerely,
Isaac Ahn
