One More Basket!
Funded May 6, 2023Thanks to your generous support, we were able to add an additional basket to our course. The kids are going to be thrilled! We can’t wait to show you picture and videos of the new basket in action. Your support and collaboration is invaluable and we deeply appreciate you.”

This classroom project was brought to life by General Motors and one other donor.Disc Golf for the Kids!
Funded Dec 15, 2022Thank you again for contributing to the Palms Disc Golf Club. Your generous donation has fundamentally transformed the club and allowed us to install a semi-permanent course on the PE field. We now have four holes installed, and the course is available for kids to play after school on Wednesdays or any other time they want (i.e., Lunch).
From the moment we took the baskets out of the boxes and started to set them up, the enthusiasm and joy on the kids' faces was palpable. We installed the baskets as a club, and the kids now feel a real sense of ownership of the course and help to maintain it. After weeks of playing, weather, and wind, the baskets are holding up excellently.
Before we got the new baskets, all 15-20 club members would have to take turns throwing at one basket or in the field. Now, each Wednesday, we briefly meet at hole one to discuss club news, distribute scorecards, and then send foursomes off to each of the different holes to play. At the end of the round, we compare scorecards to see who had the day's hot score. The kids have a friendly competition, but always cheer each other on and are encouraging of new players.
Moving forward, I am always thinking of ways to enrich the club and grow the kids' love of the game. We have accomplished a ton in our first year, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for the Palms DGC!”
