This July, First Tee – Metropolitan New York proudly hosted its annual Equity Collective event — a powerful day dedicated to mentorship, inclusion, and connection through the game of golf. Held at the beautiful Bonnie Briar Country Club, this year’s gathering brought together students, coaches, mentors, and corporate partners for an unforgettable experience focused on equity and opportunity.
The day began with a 9-hole clinic and scramble, followed by a career expo featuring representatives from leading firms, including: AMG, Ares, Eaton Vance, FS Investments, Franklin Templeton, Invesco, Lord Abbett, Morgan Stanley, Natixis, PGIM, PIMCO, Thornburg and Voya.
Throughout the day, First Tee students had the invaluable opportunity to connect with professionals, ask meaningful questions, explore diverse career paths, and envision their futures — both on and off the course.
More than just a golf event, the Equity Collective stands as a testament to the power of intentional programming and community. It creates space for young people to build confidence, expand their networks, and discover new possibilities — all within a supportive and inspiring environment.
A heartfelt thank you to all our participating partners and supporters. Together, we are opening doors and building brighter futures for the next generation.
