Sofia Hoalst, founder of F.O.R.E.
Founder Story

Meet Sofia

Golf has taught me that one difficult shot does not determine the rest of your round. I want girls to learn that same lesson about life.

Why Golf Matters to Sofia

Sofia's connection to golf runs alongside her experience in pageantry, where she found that the same lessons applied in both worlds: preparation, poise under pressure, and the ability to keep going after a setback.

Why She Created F.O.R.E.

Through F.O.R.E., I want to help girls build confidence, find mentors, discover new opportunities, and know that a setback never has to define where they go next.

Pageant Platform Connection

F.O.R.E. began as Sofia's pageant platform — a cause she could champion and grow. As it develops into a girls' empowerment organization serving more girls ages 8–18, that pageant connection remains part of her personal story, while the F.O.R.E. brand itself stands on its own.

Founder Philosophy

Aut viam inveniam faciam.

I will find a way or make one.

This is Sofia's personal philosophy — a reflection of resilience and forward movement that shaped why she founded F.O.R.E.

Help Sofia's mission reach more girls.
