MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN EDUCATION
One Birdie at a time.
Maverick is donating $100 for every birdie he makes this season.
Maverick McNealy is a 28 year old professional golfer, playing his fourth 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!
I’m signed up again to donate $100 for each birdie I make this season.
The Impact of Your Generous Contributions
I couldn’t be more excited to get going in the 2023-2024 Season!
My goal this season is 400 birdies! I made 248 last year.
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.

Sony Open in Hawaii
January 8-14, 2024, Honolulu, HI
The Sony Open in Hawaii, formerly The Hawaiian Open, has been hosted by Waialae Country Club since 1965. Waialae 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 96 years ago in 1927, and designed by Seth Raynor, it is a Par-70, 7,044-yard championship course. One of the signature and most scenic holes at Waialae is #17, a very difficult par-3 requiring a long or middle iron. The green features a large bunker on the left and a series of four deep, hidden bunkers guarding the right.

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 2024!
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!
