Champion professional golfer Sergio Garcia, philanthropist Angela Garcia, and television personalities Chris Harrison and Lauren Zima all proudly call Austin home and share a deep commitment to giving back to the community they love. Together, they are leading FORE Kids ATX, a multi-day fundraising initiative dedicated to improving the lives of children and families across Central Texas.
Since its founding in 2022, FORE Kids ATX has raised more than $8.5 million for Texas children’s organizations. As parents and active members of the Austin community, the Garcias and TV personality duo are passionate about helping children and families thrive, with a focus on healthcare, mental health, and family support services.
FORE Kids ATX is a single, unifying opportunity for supporters to simultaneously contribute to four organizations making a meaningful difference in the lives of local children: The Center for Child Protection, Dell Children’s Medical Center, Experience Camps and The UGLI Foundation.
The Center for Child Protection helps reduce trauma for children during the investigation and prosecution of crimes against children, serving approximately three to five new young victims each day.
Dell Children’s Medical Center provides world-class care regardless of a family’s ability to pay, with a particular focus on vulnerable or underserved children.
Experience Camps provides free summer camps and year-round programming for children grieving the loss of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver. With support from FORE Kids ATX, the organization brought its programming to Texas for the first time in Summer 2026, opening a new camp to serve children and families across the state.
Founded by Angela Garcia in 2021, the UGLI Foundation works to combat bullying by encouraging children to embrace differences, practice kindness, and recognize their individual worth.
FORE Kids ATX will bring the Austin community together this October through three signature events: the PAR-Tee gala at Fair Market on October 29th, followed by the Golf Tournament at Omni Barton Creek and the inaugural Mahjong for a Mission tournament at Austin Country Club, both on October 30th. Together, the events will bring Austin’s community together for a shared purpose.
Through widespread generosity, FORE Kids ATX is helping ensure that children and families have access to the care, resources, and support they need – not only today, but for generations to come.
