Donor Spotlight: Drs. Swafford

The Swafford family has played an extraordinary role in shaping First Tee – Greater Houston through years of mentorship, innovative programming, and a generous $50,000 Capital Campaign gift naming the Multipurpose Learning Room.

“Today, Coach Joe continues that legacy by leading ACE programming at F.M. Law Park, mentoring students in both golf and life skills while inspiring them to believe in their potential.”

Before Houston’s two First Tee chapters unified in 2014, Dr. Melba—known as Coach M—launched the LPGA*USGA Girls Golf program at F.M. Law Park. Her empowering “Winners Circle” program helped girls build confidence and was later showcased at First Tee’s National Meeting as a model for chapters nationwide.
