Our Objective

 

Our objective is to recycle used golf tees from local golf courses to create art pieces that bring increased awareness to the many issues we face as a community. The art and other donations are given to hospitals, shelters, schools for the disabled, etc…

 
A piece we made called “The Tree of Hope” was donated to Women’s Center for Radiology to bring awareness to Breast Cancer.

Our Process

 

We collect used golf tees on local golf courses and driving ranges. The tees are sanitized. They are trimmed and glued onto a canvas. A mixture of glue and glitter is used to transform recycled broken tees into a message of awareness for all to see.
