DUNCAN FALLS — Drive For the Future and Franklin Local School District connected to support the district’s emerging girls golf program earlier in August.

Drive Fore the Future is a foundation that supports high school teams in need. On Aug. 8, they presented Franklin High girls and boys teams with brand new clubs, shirts, balls, etc. with value is over $10,000.

Ryan French, who runs the foundation, added Kelley Morrow and his team EagleSticks Golf Club donated six months of lessons for the girls team in exchange for our foundation making a donation to Forever Dads, a charity in your area.

Among these, the district’s budding golf program stands out as a promising avenue for students to learn valuable life skills such as discipline, teamwork and perseverance.

Superintendent Kacey Cottrill reached out to Drive Fore The Future for support to bolster the golf program. In response, Drive Fore The Future has generously provided the school with essential golf equipment, including shoes, polos, pullovers, balls, bags and complete sets of clubs.

Golf coach Michelle Moyer is enthusiastic about the upcoming season, saying, “We are incredibly grateful for the support from Drive Fore The Future. This equipment will not only enhance our students’ experience on the golf course but also contribute significantly to their personal development and overall enjoyment of the sport.”
