The funds raised at this event will allow children to receive much-needed care and begin their journey towards healing. Your generosity ensures that our Valley’s children who suffer abuse have a safe place to be heard and a place to be helped.
On behalf of The Children’s Place Board of Directors, Staff, and Clients, I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your support and participation at The Children’s Place 4th annual Charity Golf Invitational, sponsored by First Rate Financial. Without generous and thoughtful people like you, we could not provide all the services we do to help children who experience trauma, so please know that your participation is making a positive difference in the work we do.
Thank you for also making it such a fun day! Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves with smiles all around! There was a lot of laughter, motivation, and friendly competition throughout the 18 holes! Your participation truly made this event a success and we are so very grateful!
Please know that each of you who sponsored this wonderful event, or bought a team, donated supplies, signage, radio time or who volunteered countless hours, – all of you have a dear and special place in our hearts. We are so very grateful for your support.
Sincerely,
P.S.
