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 30 year old professional golfer, playing his 8th 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
It is exciting to be playing in my 8th season on the PGA Tour.
My goal this season is 400 birdies! I made 386 during the Birdies 7 season.
So far in Birdies Season 8, I’ve made 40 birdies.
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 Genesis Invitational
First played 100 years ago in 1926, the Genesis is played annually in February at the Par-71, 7,322-yard Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades. It is often the concluding event of the tour’s “West Coast Swing” early in the calendar year, before the tour moves east to Florida. The Genesis Invitational is one of only five tournaments given “invitational” status by the PGA Tour, and consequently it has a reduced field of only 120-132 players (as opposed to most full-field open tournaments with a field of 156 players). One of Riviera’s signature holes is #10–at 315-yards it is frequently described as one of the best short Par-4s in the world.

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!
