Who We
Are

independent non-profit organization established in December
of 1997 in the State of Florida. We are a charitable
organization under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Service. Our Board of Directors, committees,
and volunteers are composed of individuals from a very
diverse background. We have representation from the
Treasure Coast business community, The Robert and Carol
Weissman Cancer Center at Martin Memorial, Martin Memorial
Foundation, the Pediatric Oncology Support (POST) at
St. Mary's Hospital in West Palm Beach, social workers,
investment professionals, and individuals.
We have an independent golf committee that is responsible
for our annual fund raising event - a celebrity/amateur
golf tournament.
Our organization is an all-volunteer group. The board,
in holding to their goal of making a difference in the
lives of children who are fighting their battle with
cancer has, a mission to direct their efforts to provide
support directly to the children and their families
on a personal level. To see a smile on the faces of
these children and their families within the depths
of their despair is worth a thousand words.
Statement
of Purpose
The purpose of Celebrities Fore Kids, Inc. is to improve
the quality of life for children with cancer who live
on the Treasure Coast of Florida. To further this purpose,
the organization works closely with agencies, physicians
and schools, who can support this effort. Our goal is
to offer financial, emotional, and social support to
these children and their families. Money will be directed
to provide help in transportation costs to treatment
centers, emergency funding for daily living needs, medical/prescription
costs, individual and/or family counseling, as well
as funding other needs associated with the disease.
We have and will continue to make a difference
in the lives of these children and their families one
step at a time.
How The
Money Is Raised
Celebrities Fore Kids, Inc. will
host an annual Celebrities Fore Kids Golf Tournament,
at a date and place to be determined by the Golf Committee.
This is the organization's major fund-raising event,
however other events may develop in enhancing our fund-raising
goals.
Who Will
Benefit
Children with cancer and
their families will benefit. Our support will benefit
children residing on the Treasure Coast of Florida.
At the present time pediatric oncology services are
not available locally and these children must travel
to other Florida areas for treatment. While this may
change in the future, we as an organization wanted to
start helping now, and even with the development of
sufficient oncology services in our area, there will
be continuing needs.
Distribution
of Funds
The sponsors and donors of the Celebrities
Fore Kids Golf Classic will make their checks payable
to Celebrities Fore Kids, Inc. The expenses for the
Golf Classic and other expenses associated with the
organization will be distributed throughout the year
as approved by the Celebrities Fore Kids, Inc. Board
of Directors.
The funds will be distributed to the children and their
families according to the criteria established by the
Board of Directors of Celebrities Fore Kids, Inc., in
accordance with their established written guidelines.
