Partnership to Benefit Youth Programs Formed

            The Kiwanis Club of Vero-Treasure Coast is pleased to announce the formation of a partnership to benefit local youth programs.  Kiwanis will be working with both Childcare Resources of Indian River and the Indian River Golf Foundation (IRGF) to provide funding for tuition assistance for quality day care (Tots) and college scholarships (Teens). 

            “From Tots to Teens” is the theme of the Kiwanis annual golf tournament which will be held on Saturday, December 17, 2011 at The Club at Pointe West. A unique aspect of this event will be the addition of a junior division organized by the IRGF.  All proceeds from this event will go to the scholarship funds of Childcare Resources and Kiwanis.

            For the past seventeen years Childcare Resources (childcareresourcesir.org) has provided families with tuition assistance for quality child care.  More than 1,000 families have benefited from their programs.

            The Kiwanis Club of Vero-Treasure Coast (verokiwanis.com) has awarded more than one hundred college scholarships in the past twenty years.  Last year six scholarships of $1,000 were awarded to high school seniors with outstanding records of community service and academic progress.

            The Indian River Golf Foundation (irgf.org) was founded to promote interest and awareness of local golfing opportunities.  Through its Players Club programs are designed for golfers of all ages with a focus on enabling young golfers to maximize their potential.

            To register for the “From Tots to Teens Golf Tournament” or to learn about sponsorship opportunities, visit the Kiwanis website at verokiwanis.com or contact Kiwanis president Robi Robinson at 772-460-0925 or robinson3440@bellsouth.net.
