STROKES OF LUCK
A BENEFIT GOLF EVENT
December 16th and 17th 2011
Changing the lives of the boys of Casa Hogar, “One Stroke at a Time”

Once again “The one and only” Palmilla Golf Club and Troon Golf have generously made available their world class golf course exclusively for the benefit of Casa Hogar on December 16th and 17th. We have selected this date as our new permanent weekend so that the Holiday season can be a part of our theme. This year the first day will be a casual day for fun at the great price of (donation) $119.00 dollars and as in the past will include lunch and beverages. The second day will be a scramble/shamble format with a shotgun start and includes lunch, beverages and awards program after play. The entry fee (donation) for the tournament is $ 149.00 dollars. Players can win some great prizes and have a great day all for the benefit of the kids that live in Casa Hogar. Golfers can play both days, for a donation of $ 240 dollars..

Today, our representatives are asking you and your business for support of this event. We are asking for Tee Box Sponsors to help offset the costs of operating this event. Last spring the sponsor program raised all the money needed to fund the event and almost two months of expenses were donated to help support our boys. Your support will help keep our doors open and continue our mission.

Simply, a Tee Box sponsorship is $400 dollars for two days of exposure to each and every player who participates in our golf event (we are anticipating over 250 golfers to play). You can represent your company and receive the recognition that you deserve as a local supporter of Casa Hogar. Signage using your logo and artwork will be prominently placed on a Hole for you. As a recognized charity, we will issue a Factura for your donation.

Since 1990, the vision for Casa Hogar in Cabo San Lucas has been to provide a home for boys who required either foster care or permanent placement in an orphanage in our community. Today, Casa Hogar is home for more than 31 boys, ages 7 – 16. It provides the basic and necessary requirements for food and shelter and education. As with most families, Casa Hogar is struggling to meet basic needs, often with worries on a daily and weekly basis about providing for these necessities.

Because Casa Hogar is completely funded by donations, it requires the on-going assistance and support of our Los Cabos community. I know that that these are challenging times and that there is a never ending stream of requests for your generosity, but I feel especially committed to the boys at Casa Hogar and so I am hoping that you can join us this year and find a way to participate in this event as a sponsor.

Thankfully

EVENTO DE GOLF EN BENEFICIO
Diciembre 16 y 17 del 2011
Cambiando la vida de los niños de Casa Hogar, “Un golpe a Tiempo”

Una vez más “The one and only” Palmilla Golf Club and Troon Golf generosamente han puesto a nuestra disposición su campo de golf de nivel mundial exclusivamente para beneficio de Casa Hogar los días 16 y 17 de Diciembre. Hemos seleccionado estas fechas permanentemente para que el evento tenga algún tema de las fiestas de la temporada. Este año el primer día es casual para diversión al maravilloso precio de (donación) $119.00 dólares y como anteriormente incluirá lunch y bebidas. El segundo día es scramble / shamble con salida al mismo tiempo e incluye lunch, bebidas y programa de premiación después de terminado el evento. La cuota de entrada (donación) torneo $149 dólares. Los jugadores podrán ganar fabulosos premios y divertirse en beneficio a los niños de Casa Hogar. Los jugadores podrán hacerlo ambos días por una donación de $249.00 dolares.

Hoy, nuestros representantes están pidiendo a Ud. o su negocio el apoyo a este evento. Estamos buscando patrocinadores para promocionarse en las áreas del green, esto para reducir los costos del evento. El verano pasado el programa de patrocinadores recaudo el dinero para costear el evento y casi logramos recaudar el suficiente dinero para 2 meses de gastos para nuestros niños. Su apoyo mantendrá nuestras puertas abiertas y continuaremos nuestra misión.

Sencillo, el costo de promocionarse por dos días es de $400.00 dólares y tendrá una exposición completa a cada uno de los participantes en nuestro evento de golf (anticipamos una participación de más de 250 golfistas). Incluido en el costo de patrocinio obtiene una ronda de golf durante el evento para que represente a su compañía, bien merecido por su apoyo a Casa Hogar, señalando con su logo y marca en su green, tomando en cuenta la satisfacción de saber que esta ayudando a los niños de Casa Hogar. Tomando en cuenta su donación, le podemos emitir una factura por su contribución.

Desde 1990, la visión de Casa Hogar en Cabo San Lucas ha sido el proveer una casa para los niños que necesiten cuidados temporales o un lugar permanente en un orfanato en nuestra comunidad. Hoy, Casa Hogar es una casa para más de 31 niños, entre 6 y 16 años. Provee las necesidades básicas que requieren como comida, camas y educación. Como casi todas familias, Casa Hogar esta luchando para cubrir sus necesidades básicas, regularmente con preocupaciones diarias y semanales para proveer y cubrir estas necesidades.

Al ser Casa Hogar fundada completamente con donaciones, requiere de la ayuda, asistencia y apoyo de la comunidad de Los Cabos. Se que estos son tiempos retadores y parece no tener fin el solicitar su generosidad, pero me siento especialmente comprometido a los niños de Casa Hogar y tengo la esperanza que pueda encontrar la manera de participar en este evento como patrocinador.

Respetuosamente,
Mike Pearce
Presidente, Casa Hogar de Cabo San Lucas, A.C.

UPDATE AUTUMN 2011

Hola Amigos,

Thanks to your continued support, we currently have over 2,000 children actively involved in our sports and activities programs.

Your renewals are always crucial to keeping these programs alive and allow us to involve more children, purchase new equipment and feed hungry mouths.

We are happy to announce that we have already received enough sponsorship to start feeding 100 children, daily, for the next school year in our brand new kitchen.  For the price of two fish tacos a week ($200 USD per year), one more child can be fed and one less child will go hungry.

A big thank you to all of our past, present and future sponsors; your generosity has helped to put our joint commitment to kids into action.

Contact me via email or my local cell anytime 624-109-1774.

Regards,
Steve Mills                VISIT OUR WEBSITE…..raythomasgroup.org
