The Fir State Junior Golf Foundation is the charitable arm of the Fir State Golf Club, established in 1947 to increase access to golf in the minority community. The Foundation operates a free inner-city junior golf program and provides instruction, bags, clubs, and competitive opportunities. The Foundation also provides tuition scholarships for college-bound junior golfers.
Bill Wright, Jr., one of the club's first junior golfers, captured the prestigious National Public Links Championship in 1959, becoming the first African American golfer to achieve that distinction. Mr. Wright returned to Seattle last year for a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of his historic victory.
