What is Fore Hope?
Fore Hope is a nationally recognized, non-profit organization that uses golf as an instrument to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities, inactive lifestyle and other life challenges. Our organization was one of the first to provide a therapeutic approach to golf by creating a program for persons of all ages, disabilities and economic backgrounds, while assisting them with their physical and emotional development.
In 2010, Fore Hope celebrates 21 years of serving persons through the game of golf! Fore Hope is supported in part by corporations, grantors, individuals, Guy Derr Leadership Society program, special events, The Memorial Tournament, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company and The United States Golf Association.
Mindy Derr founded Fore Hope in 1989 and today serves as Executive Director. Her father, Guy, was the catalyst for the inception of the program. Guy was an avid golf and became disabled and as an option for hope and recovery, the Fore Hope program was born.
