10th
Annual Golf Tournament
Monday, March 9th, 2009
There are approximately
240 youth who “age out” of foster
care each year in Orange County. Youth “aging out” of
the foster care system at age 18 without adequate independent living
skills has been a growing national concern for decades. The consequence
of inadequate training and support for former foster youth has intensified
conditions of incarceration, homelessness, poverty, and under/unemployment.
Since
its inception in 1996, Hart Community Homes, Inc.,
a 501(c) (3) non-profit, has provided a safe and nurturing residential
program for over 300 Orange County foster care boys between 13 and
18 years old with backgrounds of abuse, neglect and abandonment.
Our priority is to prepare these young men for emancipation as self
reliant, responsible members of the community.
One of the special
events that support the organization is our Annual Golf Tournament that will be in its 10th year. We are very excited to hold our upcoming
tournament, “Your Hands, Their Future,” Monday,
March 9th, 2009 at the exclusive player’s course at Vellano
Country Club in Chino Hills, CA. The Committee’s goal this
year is to raise $25,000 that will be applied toward the Monkey Business
campaign, benefiting emancipating foster care youth by providing
scholarships to the Monkey Business Café’s Workforce
Development Program. The emancipated youth will have job and career
opportunities as well as a support network as they transition from
the child welfare system into independent living.
The committee
members invite you to assist Hart Community Homes, Inc. in making
a difference in the lives of these young men by participating
in this years invitational golf outing or donating an item for
our auction. We are seeking donations, such as vacation destination
packages, sporting event tickets, golf outings or packages, golf
equipment, gift certificates of any kind, memorabilia and collectibles.
All donors will be acknowledged at the golf tournament.
Thank you
for considering this request. Your support means everything to
our Golf Committee, Board of Directors, our staff and the youth
at Hart Community Homes. Thanks for helping us make a difference
by providing the resources necessary for these youth to become productive
citizens in our communities.
Sincerely,
The Golf Committee
