McKool Smith, First Tee of Dallas Providing Scholarships for Local Students

Holly Engelmann, Brittney Lightfoot, Jonathan Dupard, Gary Eden, Val De Fex, Jenna McCoppin, and Chuck Walker
McKool Smith is the first business to contribute to The First Tee of Dallas’ Scholars Program. The scholarships will go towards students’ first year of tuition at the universities of their choice. This year’s recipients include Valeria De Fex from North Hills Preparatory, Jenna McCoppin from W.T. White High School, Brittney Lightfoot from Dallas’ Talented & Gifted Magnet, and Jonathan Dupard from Duncanville High School. The students were chosen based largely on their contributions to the First Tee community, as well as their academic record and a written essay.
“Life is like a golf swing,” one student’s essay began, “we are always looking for ways to make it better.”
The First Tee of Dallas’s mission is to provide young people of all backgrounds an opportunity to develop themselves, both athletically and emotionally. In addition to making golf accessible and affordable to children who otherwise might not have an opportunity to experience the sport, First Tee holds programs that emphasize interpersonal communication, goal-setting, conflict resolution, and self-management. “More than a game,” First Tee asserts, golf is a vehicle through which children can learn perseverance, judgment, courtesy, and respect.
“We are extremely impressed with First Tee’s efforts to instill honesty, confidence, courtesy, and integrity in Dallas’ young people,” said McKool Smith co-founder Mike McKool. “We’re delighted to help these deserving students.”
