The partnership with Wyoming native amateur golfer Ali Mulhall and TaylorMade will allow for six sets of custom golf clubs to be awarded to eligible, local youth golfers.
Kari’s Access Awards, a local endowment that supports non-traditional scholarships for eligible youth, was surprised recently when TaylorMade offered a donation in partnership with Wyoming-native Ali Mulhall.
Ali, who recently placed in the Masters Youth Drive, Chip, and Putt Championship, now resides in Nevada where she has focused on her golf game and also attends school. Her and her family have remained close to the area and were happy to be able to give back in this way.
The partnership allows for six (6) youth custom golf club sets.
If you have, or are, a student of Sweetwater County School District #1 and are interested in pursuing golf or are currently a golfer, please complete an application and forward to the Kari’s Access Awards Committee.

WHAT IS KARI’S ACCESS AWARDS
Kari’s Access Awards is an endowment fund started in 2006 by Larry Fusselman, in memory of his daughter Kari (Kay) Fusselman who was a student at Westridge Elementary, White Mountain Junior High, and Rock Springs High School.
The fund gives School District #1 students access to non-traditional scholarships. These scholarships allow students to participate in outside programs, enhancing learning and personal growth beyond their daily school activities. Students apply directly or are recommended through friends, teachers and family. The scholarships are then awarded based on a set criteria composed of need, attendance, and academics.
Kari’s Access Awards receives all funding from private donations and their annual fundraiser.
Their committee is all volunteer and includes community members passionate about the future of our local youth. They include: Jessica Maser, Chairperson, Kayci Arnoldi, Art Castillo, Gary Collins, Carrie Ellison, Weston Lamb, Kori Rossetti and Andrea Tate.
Kari’s Access Awards opens new opportunities to students; bringing out the best in each student one child at a time.
