First Tee - Greater Charleston (FTGC) is pleased to announce a continued partnership with Ry Hudnall, who has pledged $30,000 to support local youth development programs that teach interpersonal skills and life-enhancing values through the game of golf at Charleston Area golf courses, schools, and community centers.
Hudnall, the former President and CEO of a local Fortune 100 Wealth Management franchise and founder of Hudnall Capital Advisors, has been a long-time supporter of FTGC.
“First Tee - Greater Charleston is working hard to teach values like honesty and integrity to young people in our community," he said. "I’ve always believed in the transformative power of that work, and I’ve been fortunate enough to support First Tee programs personally and in previous positions as a corporate sponsor over the years. It only makes sense to further that commitment in my new role.”
At the end of 2024, Hudnall launched Hudnall Capital Advisors, a new “people-first” investment firm catering to clientele who appreciate radical transparency.
Hudnall has expressed his intention to make this year’s gift to FTGC an annual commitment via Legacy Partner sponsorship. Legacy Partners, First Tee Ambassadors (individuals making an annual gift), and long-term golf course partners play an essential role in the sustainability of FTGC programs, which collectively served 22,933 young people last year. Hudnall Capital Advisors will join the ranks of four renewing Legacy Partners in 2025–The Pathfinder Foundation, PNC Bank, Middle Street Partners, and Terracon–all of which make an annual contribution in excess of $20,000. Renewing course partners include Berkeley Country Club, Charleston Municipal, The Club at Pine Forest, Dunes West Golf & River Club, Patriots Point Golf Links, Shadowmoss Golf Club, and Wescott Golf Club.
