From junior golf to the PGA Tour, Ryan Palmer has been a winner at every level. His success in 2003 on the Nationwide tour earned him his PGA Tour card. We expect him to continue to win in life and in his professional golf career. So many people and most importantly children look up to him as a great player, but more as a great person, one who has always had a reputation of good sportsmanship. Ryan is a role model. He has a heart for all people, but a special heart for children. When we decided to start the Ryan Palmer Foundation, his initial words were, "All I want from the foundation is to give back and to create opportunities for young people, like I have had throughout all my life. It's my opportunity to give back to children."

The Ryan Palmer Foundation was founded on January 9, 2004 and is a 501(c)(3) Texas non-profit corporation. We are excited that we can now begin implementing the foundation's activities: youth golf clinics, special community golf programs, scholarship programs, educational programs, and benevolence to local youth and organizations in need.

The Foundation's three major tenets are:
Etiquette (Education): Golf has a unique etiquette and is a sport that emphasizes the value of self-regulation, self-discipline, honesty, trust, and respect. These are the same values necessary to succeed in society and in academics. The foundation wants to further its exempt purpose by promoting these purposes through golf.

Athleticisim (Health): The Foundation wants to further its exempt purposes by promoting the athletic and health benefits of golf.

Achievement (Opportunity to Succeed): The Foundation wants to further its exempt purposes by equipping today's youth with the opportunity to succeed in life.

The Ryan Palmer Foundation is excited about working with organizations, businesses and individuals of Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle for the betterment of today's youth.
