FUTURES
A national spotlight shone on Cobbs Creek on Monday, September 8, as golfing legend Tiger Woods, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, numerous other dignitaries, and dozens of invited community leaders officially opened the Smilow | Woodland TGR Learning Lab to great fanfare. Our Learning Lab, the second of its kind after the model the TGR Foundation established in Anaheim over a decade ago, is already serving more than 7,500 Philadelphia students every year, grades 1-12, through STEAM curricula and college access and career readiness programs.
Ushering in an Era of Education and Opportunity
TGR Foundation operates the Smilow Woodland TGR Learning Lab on the Cobbs Creek campus, providing youth from the region access to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) education, college access and career readiness programs. Additionally, TGR Design is building a new short course to provide golf access and opportunities for the community to practice and learn the game.
