MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN EDUCATION
One Birdie at a time.
CONGRATULATIONS TO MAVERICK FOR HIS WIN AT THE RSM CLASSIC ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2024!
Maverick McNealy is a 29 year old professional golfer, playing his 7th season on the PGA Tour. Maverick was a former San Jose Junior Sharks hockey player through high school, where he attended the Harker School in San Jose, California. He is the oldest of 4 brothers and currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada for the 20 weeks a year he is home!!
In 2013, Maverick decided that smashing drives was a better path than getting smashed into the boards on the ice rink, and earned a spot as an unranked junior golfer on the Stanford Men’s Golf team. Maybe Coach Ray had a soft spot for other hockey players, because Maverick only received one other Division 1 offer to play before Stanford! In four years, he earned a B.S. in Management Science and Engineering and eleven collegiate victories, tying a program record…
Maverick’s Next Goal is Another $1M
- Built an interactive video player so students can engage with videos instead of passively watching them.
- Helped build easier-to-use authoring tools for teachers with ready-made layouts and templates.
- Launched several partners such as Katy ISD, Baylor University, and First Tee!
The Impact of Your Generous Contributions
I couldn’t be more excited to be playing in my 7th season on the PGA Tour.
My goal this season is 400 birdies! I made 464 last season.
Making a difference in education is something the Curriki team and I are very passionate about, and we wouldn’t be able to make this impact without all of your generous contributions of all sizes.

The Sony Open
The Sony Open in Hawaii, formerly The Hawaiian Open, has been hosted by Wai’alae Country Club since 1965. Wai’alae is the historic site where Kamehameha the Great beached his “warships” and battled the people of Oahu to unify the islands under his rule. Founded in 1927, and designed by Seth Raynor, Wai-alea is a Par-70, 7,020-yard championship course. The front and back nines of Waialae are switched for the PGA Tour event, finishing at the dogleg ninth hole. One of the signature holes is the Par-3 #17 (#8 for this event), which is bordered along its full 186 yards by the Pacific Ocean.

The State of Education
Making a difference in education is something the Curriki team and I are very passionate about, and we wouldn’t be able to make this impact without all of your generous contributions of all sizes. I couldn’t be more excited to get going in 2025!
A few of the amazing things Curriki has done this year are: built an interactive video player so students can engage with videos instead of passively watching them, helped build easier-to-use authoring tools for teachers with ready-made layouts and templates, and launched several partners such as Katy ISD, Baylor University, and First Tee!
