The Fore!Kids Foundation was created in 1958 by six men who had the vision of bringing world-class golf to New Orleans, all while helping the children of the community. The vision that Jim Black, Dave Lawrence, Dimitry Morvant, Al Rieke, Garic Schoen and Henry Thomas had more than 50 years ago still resonates today. Since its inception, the Foundation has helped raise nearly $19 million for regional children's charities and has increased its membership to include more than 180 dedicated individuals.
