Chipping for Charity Golf Outing

EHTC chooses a different local charity each year to donate the proceeds of our annual Chipping for Charity Golf Outing.

If you have a favorite charity you would like to see benefit from this outing, we would love to hear about it!

Some guidelines we use for selecting a nonprofit charity are:

• The money would significantly impact it
• The money would stay locally
• EHTC would be able to get a list of individuals to send invitations to
• The organization would participate in the event (with volunteers, etc.)

Please submit the following information from the potential recipient in order to be considered:

• Most recent annual financial statements
• Copy of Form 990
• Literature explaining what the organization does
• Board of directors listing
• How the money would be used
• Whether or not we can send invitations to people on your mailing list
• If/how many of your organization's volunteers would be willing to participate (6-8 typically required)

Deciding which charity will benefit is always difficult because there are so many worthy causes, but this is also a rewarding task for us at EHTC because it is one area where we truly pride ourselves in giving to the community!

If you would like to nominate a charity to be considered, please forward the above information by the end of the year to Diane Friar at EHTC - 5136 Cascade Rd. SE #2A, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 - email dianef@ehtc.com.

In 2010 we will be raising funds for the Children's Assessment Center. Children’s Assessment Center assesses, supports, and cares for child victims of suspected sexual abuse. They provide interviews, assessments, medical care, short-term counseling, and legal protection. All of their services are offered in a child-friendly, sensitive, and safe environment and are free of charge to all children and nonoffending family members. They serve the entire Kent County area. The Center also works with a call-out team staffed, in part, by DeVos Children’s Hospital, to provide emergency care in the thirteen counties making up West Michigan on evenings, weekends, and holidays.
