This Heroes for Hardship collaboration donation comes from money raised on hole #5 & #15. The SJPIII Memorial Fund has decided to donate the money raised from their fundraiser hole #5, “double your money par 3”, back into their local community of Girard, Ohio. The second part of the donation comes from funds raised for breast cancer awareness & support on the “cornhole advancement” at hole #15.
A donation of $1500 will be made to Lorraine, a lifelong Northeast Ohio resident, as she begins her fight against breast cancer. This money will go directly towards offsetting travel expenses for unforeseen medical treatment as well as offsetting a small portion of the out-of-pocket medical expenses that her health insurance will not cover.
One Step Ahead Ohio partnered with Bristol High School in Bristolville, Ohio as a $750 Gold Sponsor for their 2022 golf & cornhole tournament fundraising event on 9/24/2022. All proceeds raised at this event went towards the high school golf team as well as the girls & boys basketball programs.
2021 Golf Outing Fundraiser
The 2021 golf outing fundraiser is in the books and the overwhelming feedback was nothing but positivity from the participating golfers.
We were able to raise $3,498 through 50/50 ticket sales, raffle ticket sales & skill game participation during the event. These funds will directly grow our Trade School Scholarship & Development Fund, Heroes for Hardship initiative and our P.A.K. program.
The success of this event would not of been possible without the local businesses donating through hole sponsorships and the 80 plus participating golfers. Shout out to Penguin City Beer and DOPE Cider House & Winery for hanging with us in the heat as hole vendors.
Thank you to WKBN for coming to the outing and writing such a great piece on our organization.
