Charity: John S. Pickering Foundation in support of children with Cystic Fibrosis Profile: We cordially invite you to participate in the 9th Annual "Playing for a Cure" Celebrity Golf Tournament on October 9, 2006 at St. Marlo Country Club in Duluth, Georgia. The tournament is presented by the John S. Pickering Foundation in support of children with Cystic Fibrosis. As many of you know, our son, John Spencer ("John John") was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 2 1/2 years. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the number one genetic killer of children and young adults in the United States. It is an incurable disease that affects the mucous secreting glands of the body, primarily in the lungs and digestive system. The mucous secreted is abnormal - very thick and sticky - and it clogs the lungs and digestive track, leading to numerous problems such as lung infections and intestinal blockages. Eventually, the bacteria that thrive in CF lungs destroy lung tissue, leading to respiratory failure. We look forward to seeing you at this year's event !!!

Charity: Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta Profile: For more than 65 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta has been in the forefront of youth development, working with young people from disadvantaged economic, social, and family circumstances. Boys & Girls Club has actively sought to enrich the lives of girls and boys that other youth agencies fail to reach. Boys & Girls Club is dedicated to ensuring that our community’s disadvantaged youngsters have greater access to quality programs and services that will enhance their lives and shape their futures as productive citizens. Since 1938, we have provided children with a positive place to go, results-oriented programming and a professional staff to guide them. Last year, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta served more than 15,000 young people through its Clubs, summer sites and outreach programs. We operate 21 full-time Clubs in 11 metro counties in addition to Camp Kiwanis and Youth Art Connection, an art gallery and workspace for young people in downtown Atlanta. Clubs are located in communities with the greatest need where similar services are limited or nonexistent. The cost of providing services to a member for a year is $900, but in order to serve effectively those who need us most, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta asks families to pay annual membership dues of only $35 per child and no child is turned away due to inability to pay. A private, nonprofit organization, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta improves young lives as well as the communities that surround and support us. The organization relies upon private, corporate, individual and United Way funding to fill the gap between membership dues and operational expenses. |
