1st Annual Golf Fundraiser

Awaken_Sierra • April 4, 2015

Awaken is looking for individual (golfers) and community donors  to participate in a Day-of-Golf Fundraiser at Somersett Golf & Country Club on Monday, June 8, 2015 to benefit the purchase of the first Safe House in Northern Nevada for survivors of commercial sexual exploitation.

The Day-of-Golf Pledge Event is no ordinary golf fundraiser! As an individual, you will need to raise the minimum suggested sponsor pledges of $2,000, or $20 per hole.

Each golfer is challenged to solicit pledges for each hole played. This collected $2,000 includes entry into all events, a marathon of golf at Somersett, riding cart, breakfast, lunch, dinner and marathon player incentives.

There will be an awards presentation, special speaker, and dinner directly after golf at the Sunset Grille formally known as 19th Hole.

Now you probably want to know more about the safe house, right? God has not just provided one house, but two! They stand on 20 acres of incredible land off the beaten path. The first house is 3500 sq. ft. and the second is 4000 sq. ft. The homes can house up to 6 girls each and all of this is included for only a purchase price of $250,000!!! As soon as God sends the resource we can move in! This is why the Day-of-Golf Fundraiser is so beneficial to Awaken. This fundraiser will help us to purchase this property and bring girls to a home of safety and restoration!
