I am blessed to be a mentor to the children. The program is enriching and nurturing. It's my pleasure to be able to see our bright young stars shine. The program is for the youth, yet it fulfills me as well. Know that our future is in their hands is what we are instilling in them.

Take a Swing at a Second Chance Golf Outing

Join us for a special day dedicated to giving our youth a brighter future. This day of golf, camaraderie, and philanthropy will take place on June 17, 2025 at the Lakes of Taylor Golf Course, with a 9:00am shotgun start and complimentary range balls from 7:30am - 8:45am.

For nearly two decades, the Horatio Williams Foundation has been a beacon of hope, providing academic enrichment, leadership training, mentorship, and athletic programs that equip young people with the skills, confidence, and discipline needed to succeed. We are committed to ensuring that every child has access to opportunities that foster education, leadership, and community service – empowering them to reach their full potential.

This golf outing serves as a vital fundraiser to sustain and expand our programs. Your participation and sponsorship will directly support our efforts to provide college preparation, leadership development, and structured mentorship to young people who need a second chance to thrive.
