JUMP ABOARD…THE CHILDREN NEED YOU!

Olive Bass Club of Olive Baptist Church will be hosting its third benefit bass tournament for The Florida Baptist Children’s Home located at 1000 Chemstrand Road, Pensacola, FL.  We ask you to support this sporting event to be held September 13, 2008 that will benefit the children’s home.

The Pre-Fish Meeting at Olive Baptist Church, is on Friday, September 12^th, beginning at 6:00 PM to include…special guest Randy Howell a 15 year professional angler and 7-time Bassmaster Qualifier, door prizes, and drawings. 

We hope to raise financial support through donations to fund the prize money for the tournament as well as items to be used for door prizes.  This is not a fund-raiser for the church; 100% of the money will be spent on the tournament expenses including prize money.  All remaining funds will be donated to the children’s home.  A financial statement will be available for sponsors 60 days after the tournament.

Please let me know if you are interested in becoming a sponsor for this event through either your financial donation or items to be used as door prizes for the pre-tournament dinner.

All, 

I've consolidated all the information pertaining to the Florida Baptist Children's Home Bass Tournament.  Please take a moment and look everything over.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate contacting me. 

Also, I wanted to communicate a few things about the Florida Baptist Children’s Home of Pensacola as you consider your tax deductible donation to this very important event.  

The Florida Baptist Children's Home is approximately 70% charitably funded.  It provides a stable Christian home for boys and girls who desperately need such a place to live.  Some of these children are from homes where:  1) they were victimized by neglect or by unspeakable physical, sexual or emotional abuse; 2) they were caught up in a dysfunctional family crisis or domestic turmoil; 3) they were abandoned or orphaned; 4) their parents/guardians could not care for them or 5) any number of other reasons. 

The children's home does a lot more than give these children a place to live.  They ensure that the children get good medical care, nourishing food, proper clothes and education.  The children are given counseling, lots of love, attention and participate in a positive lifestyle. 

In short, the Florida Baptist Children's Home provides for the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of some of our areas very needy children. 

Again, please consider sponsoring this event either through your: 1) participation in the tournament on September 13; 2) financial donation; 3) donation of items used as door prizes for the pre-tournament banquet on September 12.

Regards,

Last, if you are in a position to donate items that we can use as door prizes (trips w/ local guides, oil changes, hair cuts, tackle, whatever.......), please let me know.  And, of course, donations to the Florida Baptist Children's Home are needed as well. 

Regards,
