ONE FINAL PUSH!!! ---> GC to Sponsor Royal Family Kids' Camp for 4th Year in a Row!!

[Fatty]

What: A Golf Outing that benefits Royal Family Kids’ Camp

When: Saturday, October 11, 2008

Why: Because for the last 3 years, the GC Community has shown their compassion for these kids. We’ve proven over time that GC is not just about the frags, but about people.

How Much: $1300, which covers a Corporate Sponsorship and an additional foursome.

 

It’s been 16 months since our last sponsorship to RFKC. A couple gracious guys who planned on donating again this year have even asked what was going on with the outing. Normally it takes place in June or July, but for one reason or another, it was postponed. I was so tickled to know that some of you were anticipating the chance to give again this year!

 

Here’s our teams from last year:

Here’s this year’s brochure, which also boasts our sponsorship from 2007: http://gamrs.co/rfkc/2008rfkcgolfbrochure.doc

 

I’m going to link you to the past conversations and drives, but for anyone that is new, let me give you a little background: Royal Family Kids’ Camp is a week-long camp for abused and neglected children. Most of our kids come from either Child Guidance or from Children’s Services. In some form, they have experienced abuse or neglect from those who they were supposed to be able to trust more than anyone: their parents.

 

While the children, for the most part, are not still in the abusive situation, they still bear the scars and memories of being ill-treated. Our goal is to give them a week of wonderful memories and positive experiences.

 

The camp is nationwide, and the official site is here: http://rfkc.org

 

A quick link to some statistics on the site are here: http://www.rfkc.org/site/c.ikIPL8MWJxE/b.4...Quick_Facts.htm

 

This will be my 9th year of RFKC. I started off as a counselor with another church for three years, and then helped to start a camp at our church after that where I served as the Dean of Men. Last year I became Assistant Director at our camp, and we are beginning preparations for our 6th camp in 2009.

Normally I toss my entire contribution in during this golf outing, but this year I ended up spending $300 at the RKFC Auction for a little puppy…some of you have met Jackson the Beagle. He’s not so little anymore….

 

Anyways, I’ll start us off with $100. Bub is in for $100 as well. So now we’re down to $1100 left to raise. That’s just 11 more guys at $100 each. However, we never get it done like that. We have a few guys with more resources toss in more than that, and we have lots of guys give what they can in little chunks that help us reach our goal. Whether you’re someone who can donate $20 or someone who can donate $200, you donate from your heart, and that is what matters.

 

So here we go. I’ll gladly answer any questions, both here or in PM. I don’t publish the amounts that you donate, but I can’t help but thank you in this thread after I receive some donations (unless you request otherwise).

 

 

Last year SJ whipped up some handy links....thanks again, SJ!

I'm in fer... oh, nm, I'm all in. I'm also working on a sponsorship from my company as well. If you are in the same position as myself, where you can have a little influence on management, that would be awesome as well to get some more corporate sponsors. I attend the same church and thanks to the new job I took this summer, (see an extra week of vacation) I will get to be a counselor next year!!!

 

Give as little or as much as you can, and give from the heart, I've seen the smiles on these kids faces and who knows how long its been since they last smiled. Its more than worth it!!!

Dam...this is the 1st year in awhile that I cant play in the golf tourney

 

Oh well, I will see what our finances look like after the honeymoon trip we just planned last night, but I will give something.

 

Any chance of moving the golf tourney to next week?....in the Bahamas?

[Fatty]

[Fatty]

Thank you, Bushmaster!

 

$800 more to go, guys! Let's get it done!

[Fatty]

That's $550 raised, and $750 to go! Almost to the halfway point!

 

Are we going to make it?

[Bermudian]

Good thing to raise money for. To bad I can't be there to play with ya'll

[Fatty]

Thank you, Bermudian!

 

We are at the halfway point!

 

$650 raised, $650 to go!

[Fatty]

Ok, we need one last push here. Let me do some final figuring:

 

 

 

Golfers:

 

Team 1:

Fatty (already accounted for $100)

Maxa: $75

Dever: $75

Erv: $25 (his wife is putting up $200 so he takes that discount)

Team 1 in: $175

Mini $75

Gio $75

ringer 1 $75

ringer 2 $75

Team 2 in: $300

 

That's $475

 

 

SOOOO.....WE'RE $175 OFF THE MARK.

 

Let's finish this up GC! Been a bit slow....I'll have to think carefully about coming back to this well again next year.....but can you come through for me this year?

 

No biggy, it's taken care of though....I can afford $275....but would love if you could join me in little chunks so that it's truly a GC doing.

 

So again, need $175 more. Who can help?

[Clueless]

I don't have access to paypal and bank account here, but we are going home tomorrow. Count Deb and I in for $100.00.

[MrDuke]

If Clue's in for $100, I'll cover the $75.

[aMnesiac]

I just put in $10 for this awesome cause.

[Fatty]

I've received $30 more...thank you to Amnesiac and DNA!

 

That leaves us at $145 to go....

 

With the pledges from Clue and Duke, we've made it. Why don't you guys just split the rest?
