Through the tournament, Jim and Carol West provide vital support to student-athletes, offering athletic opportunities and scholarships that make a meaningful difference. As a result, their longstanding generosity has positively impacted more than 900 student-athletes and numerous coaches nationwide.

"Dear Friends and Supporters,

On behalf of the Jim and Carol West Foundation, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous support through the years. Your past donations have helped to provide educational scholarships for the Aaron S. West memorial fund and the Andrew C. West Memorial fund. Your contributions have also helped our foundation fund endowments for the OK KIDs Corral, The Roger Clemens foundation, the Women Empowerment Fund and Austin Sound Waves.

And for our TEXAS STATE womens college golfers and the other esteemed and accomplished women college athletes … we celebrate and acknowledge them for their dedication, skill and talent.

Each of these organizations serves a different need, but they all share something very important to us-

A commitment to improving lives and creating opportunities and also honoring the memory of loved ones.

The accomplishments of the Jim and Carol West Foundation would never have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors and our friends and we hope you will consider joining us again for the 2026 Jim

West Challenge.

Thank you again for everything you have done for us and we look forward to your continued support.

With sincere appreciation,

Jim and Carol West
