In regards to equipment donations, we accept metal woods, cavity back irons, all wedges, all putters and golf balls in usable condition. They can be delivered to The First Tee at: 7501 Blue River Rd, Kansas City, Missouri 64132.

We strongly recommend you call prior to coming out as we tend to be in and out of the office frequently. Ellen Fisher, our Operations Analyst is usually in the office more than anyone and it is best to arrange your donation through her. You can email her at efisher@thefirstteekc.org. However, if you are unable to reach us and must drop them off at a certain time you may leave them with the proshop at the address above. If you do this please provide them with your name and address and what you donated so a letter can be sent to you for tax purposes. If dropping things off at our Heart of America location is inconvenient, please let us know and we may be able to arrange an alternative. Once again, thanks for thinking of us.
