Minneapolis, MN (PRUnderground) June 6th, 2018
wynnr, a new fashion line of affordably-priced golf apparel for children, announced today it has become a Gold Partner of The First Tee, the youth sports organization whose mission is to grow the game of golf by transforming the experience that kids (and families) have with the sport. Five percent of wynnr profits will be donated to The First Tee, whose programs teach young golfers the organization’s Nine Core Values: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judgment, both on and off the course. The First Tee reaches over 5 million children annually through its programs in all 50 states and growing presence globally.
“We especially love the fact that when kids take to the greens wearing wynnr golf apparel, they’ll actually be helping other kids learn the game of golf and the strong culture of sportsmanship associated with the game,” says Scott Petinga, Minneapolis based founder of wynrr. “As a The First Tee Gold Partner, wynnr is excited to help young people learn the Nine Core Values and enjoy a winning round gracefully.”
wynrr offers affordably priced golf apparel especially tailored for young people who enjoy golf, whether they are just learning the game or are on their way to sports greatness. Bright, colorful and comfortable fabrics are wynnr’s trademark features that ensure kids look stylish while having fun out on the course.
“We’re excited to welcome wynrr aboard as a Gold Partner,” says Keith Dawkins, Chief Executive Officer of The First Tee. “It’s clear that both of our teams are passionate about teaching kids the Nine Core Values and life lessons while they master the skills and techniques of one of the world’s greatest games.”
As a The First Tee Gold Partner, wynrr will be donating a minimum of $25,000 over the course of several years to help the organization continue to fund its youth-focused programs at golf courses, elementary schools and education centers.
