Community Outreach
The Michael Ray Lee Foundation was established to carry on Michael’s unfulfilled dreams. The Foundation’s Mission is to “Give Back” by utilizing the game of golf to positively impact lives through charitable giving with an emphasis on scholarships and junior golf. Michael’s legacy lives on!
The Michael Ray Lee Foundation would like to share with you some of the great things we have accomplished this year. None of it would have been possible without the incredible amount of support we have received! It is truly amazing the amount of people that Mike touched in his short 28 years of life. With your support, we raised $214,000 in donations and sponsorships in 2026.
We will begin our fundraising efforts again in January preparing for the Seventh Annual Mike Lee Golf Tournament which will be held in the summer of 2027. You can view our charitable giving below.
