Our Mission 

TLC Fore Reading Pa is a community development organization founded by Tillman M. Sims III, Chama Carwll, Lenny Pan, Anthony Cowsette, Devin Merritt, and Todd Long to introduce the game of golf and its inherent values to our great city of Reading Pa and surrounding areas. We focus our work on charity events and philantrophic giving, golf trips and excursions and the Caddie Mentor Program. Our 5 year strategic plan also includes after-school and in-school programs, as well as a scholarship program for students participating in the Caddie Mentor Program.  Our goal is to help shape the lives of young people from all walks of life and enhance their world through education, mentoring, and programming.  Through the efforts of our many devoted staff, volunteers and community partners, we encourage the development of people of all backgrounds and skills levels.  We focus on reinforcing the values of integrity, respect and perseverance through the very game we have fallen in life with.
