Ryan Palmer Foundation
Our Cause
The first time my Dad took me golfing, neither of us had any idea I was stepping onto a path that would lead to a professional career. It was an opportunity that has impacted every aspect of my life and has shaped who I am today.
I’ve had a lot of opportunities in life, and as soon as I earned my PGA Tour card in 2003, I knew I wanted to give back – I knew I wanted to do something for kids, something that would have both an immediate and a long-term benefit.

RPF is proud to partner with Texas Health Resources to expand the reach of The Texas Health Wellness for Life Mobile Health Program to provide early breast cancer detection services in our community.
We are also thrilled to support Texas Health Resources again in 2020 with a sponsorship of Puttin’ on the Pink Luncheon & Fashion Show! Through loyal support of Puttin’ on the Pink, Texas Health Resources Foundation has been able to reach thousands of women in Fort Worth and surrounding communities who face barriers to health care, such as financial hardship, transportation challenges and cultural isolation.

The Brighter Smiles Initiative provides a child with life-affirming dental care which impacts how that child views themselves.

Dental issues can be a financial burden for many families, but, left unresolved, these problems can have a huge, life-long negative effect on a child.
OUR MISSION
The Ryan Palmer Foundation creates life-change and brighter futures for communities and underserved families by offering access to education, self-care and personal development.

IT ALL BEGAN WHEN I WAS 9 YEARS OLD WITH BORROWED CLUBS…
The first time my Dad took my golfing, neither of us had any idea I was stepping onto a path that would lead to a professional career. It was an opportunity Dad gave me that has impacted every aspect of my life and has shaped who I am today.

Foundation Years
“The best thing golf has given me is my Foundation – this platform – to raise money, to raise awareness and give back, to give kids the opportunities that I had… and to make kids smile.”
“After being treated for fluorosis (discolored teeth), I learned at an early age how much a healthy smile can affect one’s confidence and outlook on life. I’m privileged to be a part of serving these families and children through the Ryan Palmer Foundation”
“We can make a huge impact by coming together – Brighter Smiles Initiative is all about making a difference. We get to affect the future of these children and create an improved trajectory for their lives. Confidence and a good self-image change everything!”
A Special Thanks to Our Partners
