The Play It Forward Program

In 2025, this brand started on a kitchen table in a small apartment with a singular vision: to create jewelry that looks high-end on the course or court, but more importantly, jewelry that actually does something.

I grew up in the world of competitive sports. From the early mornings of junior golf to competing at the collegiate level for Georgia Southern, the game gave me more than I could ever put into words. Being a student-athlete taught me how to grind when no one was watching and how to lead when the pressure was on. Because of my sport, I’ve had the chance to travel to amazing places, find mentors who shaped my character, and build friendships that became the foundation of my life.

Golf opened doors for me that changed my world. However, I also know that those doors can be heavy. I saw firsthand how the costs of tournament fees, travel, and equipment can be a massive hurdle for young athletes and student-led clubs.

The Play It Forward Program was created to ensure those doors stay open for the next generation. We’ve built a giving promise into every single piece we sell, allowing our community to invest in the future of the sports we love.

  • Our Giving Model

    We believe in transparency and direct impact. When you shop our collections, you are directly funding the following initiatives:

    The Junior Golf Scholarship

    For every pair of golf earrings sold, $1 goes directly toward an annual scholarship for a selected junior golfer. This fund is designed to help a young athlete cover the "hidden costs" of the game—like tournament entry fees and travel—helping them reach the next level of their competitive career.

    The Collegiate Pickleball Fund

    For every pair of pickleball earrings sold, $1 goes into a fund for a selected collegiate pickleball club. Most campus clubs are student-run and under-resourced; these grants help them with gear, court time, and the travel costs necessary to compete in regional and national tournaments.

    Why It Matters

    When you wear our earrings, you aren’t just adding to your game-day look. You are helping a junior golfer afford the entry fee that might lead to their own collegiate journey. You are helping a college pickleball club build a community on their campus.

    Every dollar set aside is a commitment to the sports that bring us together. What started in an apartment in 2025 has become a mission to ensure the next generation of players has the resources to pursue their own amazing experiences on the fairway and the court.

    Thank you for being a part of this journey and for helping grow the game, one pair of earrings at a time.
