A Day of Swings, Smiles, and Solidarity — Aspire Family Day at Alpine Target Golf
Celebrating Swings: Building Confidence, Character, and Community—One Swing at a Time
There’s something about the early morning sun, the sound of laughter cutting across the green, and the rhythm of golf balls being launched into open space that reminds us what community is all about.
On Saturday, June 28th, from 9AM to noon, Aspire Mentoring Program will be celebrating Family Day at Alpine Target Golf in Longview, Texas (2695 Alpine Rd). This isn’t just an event—it’s a celebration of connection, mentorship, and the power of shared experiences. Hosted in collaboration with First Tee–Piney Woods and proudly sponsored by AAON, this morning is all about showing up, having fun, and building lasting bonds.
What To Expect:
- Engaging golf activities for youth and families of all skill levels
- Opportunities to learn about First Tee–Piney Woods and the free programming they offer to Aspire mentees
- A relaxed environment to mingle with mentors, staff, and other families
- Complimentary food, games, and a spirit of encouragement that makes everyone feel like they belong
The day is designed to do more than entertain—it’s built to empower. Through the sport of golf, Aspire’s mentees will explore patience, focus, confidence, and resilience. And just as importantly, families will witness firsthand the kind of support that surrounds their children through Aspire’s intentional mentorship work.
Why It Matters:
In a world where youth often navigate storms in silence, events like this provide a breath of fresh air—a moment to play, to connect, and to remember they’re not alone. Aspire and First Tee are bridging gaps and teeing up young people for success, not just on the green, but in life.

There are some mornings that feel like more than just the start of a new day—they feel like the beginning of something meaningful. That’s the energy we’re bringing to Aspire Family Day at Alpine Target Golf on Saturday, June 28th, from 9AM to Noon at 2695 Alpine Rd, Longview, TX.
This isn’t your typical Saturday outing. It’s a morning designed with heart, hosted by the Aspire Mentoring Program in partnership with First Tee–Piney Woods and sponsored by AAON. It’s a celebration of mentorship, movement, and moments that matter. And whether you’ve picked up a golf club before or not, this event welcomes everyone—mentees, mentors, families, community supporters—with open arms and open fairways.
What’s Happening on the Green?
Aspire Family Day is a space where fun meets purpose. Youth will get the chance to explore the fundamentals of golf, guided by the skilled and compassionate staff of First Tee–Piney Woods. But it’s about more than the game. It’s about introducing tools of discipline, confidence, patience, and focus—lessons that stretch far beyond the driving range.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Interactive golf stations for all ages and abilities
- Mentor-mentee bonding opportunities
- Free food, refreshments, and fun games
- Information on ongoing free programs offered to Aspire mentees through First Tee–Piney Woods

Why Golf? Why Now?
Golf is a game that teaches you how to slow down. How to breathe. How to focus your energy, stay patient, and swing with intention. These are the same qualities Aspire Mentoring Program aims to instill in its youth every single day.
By partnering with First Tee–Piney Woods, Aspire is showing that mentorship doesn’t always have to look like a classroom or a Zoom call. Sometimes, it’s standing side by side on a green field, listening to a young person’s story while they take their best shot. Sometimes, it’s in the silence between swings—where trust is built and resilience is remembered.
This event also brings visibility to how deeply intertwined mentorship and opportunity are. The First Tee program provides ongoing, cost-free access to structured, character-building sports programming for Aspire mentees. Family Day is your chance to experience that firsthand.
For the Community, By the Community
Sponsored by AAON, this event serves as a reminder that when local businesses, nonprofits, and families come together, we can create experiences that echo far beyond a single day. We’re not just shaping swings—we’re shaping futures.

Final Thoughts
Family Day is more than an event—it’s a symbol of everything Aspire stands for: connection, consistency, and care. We believe that every young person deserves a mentor who listens, a community that uplifts, and experiences that remind them of their value.
So come swing with us. Whether you’re cheering from the sidelines, taking a few practice shots, or simply enjoying the view—you’re part of something bigger. You’re part of the village. And in this village, we don’t just raise children. We raise leaders, one swing at a time.
