The Kelly Gibson Junior Golf Tour was founded in
2009 by PGA Tour Professional Kelly Gibson. The Kelly
Gibson Foundation operates the junior golf tour with
the mission of creating a positive learning experience
through golf by providing competitive golf tournaments
throughout the year. The KGJGT is open to both male
and female golfers ages 7-22, with members competing
in junior golf tournaments throughout New Orleans and
the Gulf Coast Region. Regardless of the players’ golfing
ability, scholarships are awarded based on community
service, grade point average and financial need. All
members of the KGJGT who are at least juniors in high
school are eligible to receive scholarships.
About The Kelly Gibson Foundation: The Kelly
Gibson Foundation was founded as Feed the Relief, Inc.
by Kelly and Elizabeth Gibson in September of 2005
with the idea of providing necessary support for the
front line first responders to Hurricane Katrina. In the
days and weeks following the disaster of Katrina, Feed
the Relief provided support to the Coast Guard, EMS
personnel, police and fire departments, community
centers, hospitals, and residents as they returned to their
homes. In 2010, Feed the Relief, a 501(c)3 corporation,
changed its name to The Kelly Gibson Foundation,
and expanded its scope to enrich the lives of children
through athletics. For more information, please visit
