Join the Inaugural Driving Futures Golf Tournament for Foster Youth Empowerment

Driving Futures Golf Tournament: A Cause Worth Celebrating



Join us for an inspiring and impactful event, the 1st Annual Driving Futures Golf Tournament, hosted by Petra Cares, the non-profit division of Petra Automotive Products. This tournament isn’t just about golf; it serves as a significant fundraising opportunity aimed at empowering young adults aging out of foster care with promising career pathways in the automotive industry.

Scheduled for October 28, 2025, at the picturesque Highland Pines Golf Club in Porter, Texas, the tournament will commence with a 1:00 PM shotgun start. Participants will have the chance to make a difference while enjoying a day filled with fun and camaraderie.

A Day to Make a Difference


This event promises to be much more than a game of golf; it symbolizes hope and the potential for change in the lives of vulnerable youth. All proceeds from the tournament will directly fund essential programs that provide training, mentorship, education, and career opportunities for these young individuals. According to Arnold Gacita Sr., the founder of Petra Cares, “Our mission goes beyond simply raising funds; we focus on creating an environment where the youth we serve receive comprehensive support — from hands-on training to essential life skills.”

The statistics speak volumes about the impact Petra Cares has had since its inception, with 106 students served, a 79% graduation rate, and a 71% job placement rate. These figures reflect the transformational results that can be achieved when communities come together to support their youth.

Levi Patterson, a former graduate of the program, shared, “Petra Cares didn’t just offer me a job; they provided a lifeline when I was at my lowest. They fostered a sense of belonging that I had been searching for.” His journey exemplifies the positive change that the organization strives to enact.
