Thank You for Supporting the Blackbird Golf Invitational

In partnership with Dream Builders of Texas Charitable Foundation

Growing up, I was surrounded by people who taught me a lasting truth: giving back isn’t defined by wealth — it’s defined by heart. Even in times of scarcity, the commitment to serve others remained constant. That spirit is the foundation of the Blackbird Golf Invitational.

We invite you to join us at River Crossing Country Club for a day of fellowship, fun, and purpose. Your support helps us unlock opportunities for student-athletes from underserved communities — creating access where none previously existed.

This is more than a tournament. It’s a movement to grow the game and level the playing field for the next generation — both academically and athletically.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to help us break barriers and build futures. We invite you to #SoarWithUs on this journey.

Dear Blackbird Golf Team,

The Blackbird Golf Scholarship means so much to me because it’s an investment in my future. Receiving this scholarship would help ease college expenses and allow me to focus on achieving my academic and personal goals.

I am honored to be considered for a scholarship that reflects those same qualities. The support from the Blackbird Golf Scholarship motivates me to continue striving for excellence while pursuing my education and making a positive impact in my community! 

Thank you for investing in my future. I won’t let you down.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Makayla Harris
Scholarship Recipient | Class of 2027

Our Impact

Since 2021, thanks to the unwavering support of our generous sponsors, committed players, and dedicated volunteers, the Blackbird Golf Invitational has proudly awarded $50,000 in scholarships to deserving student-athletes.

Each scholarship represents more than financial support — it’s a doorway to opportunity, helping students pursue their academic and athletic goals with confidence and dignity. These funds are directly changing lives, empowering the next generation to rise, lead, and succeed.

This achievement reflects our continued commitment to fostering academic excellence and creating access where it doesn’t yet exist. Through initiatives like our annual tournament, we’re not just growing the game — we’re building futures.

Thank you for soaring with us!
