Fore!Kids Event at Toys "R" Us



Today the Fore!Kids Foundation hosted an event at Toys "R" Us in Metairie. Zurich, the title sponsor of our local PGA TOUR stop, decided to give a very special Christmas gift to needy families in our area. On behalf of the PGA Players, they donated 22o Toys "R" Us gift cards valued at $100 a piece to children from our different charities. We decided to make an event out of it and had the families come out to the store to get their cards, a TY TOUR Teddy bear and free food and drink. They could then go into the store to shop and even had their own checkout line. It was a great day and so rewarding to be able to provide these kids with a gift like that. The kids were so happy and were able to buy lots of great things for themselves for Christmas. It's days like this that truly make my job worth it!
