The Kids-N-Hope Foundation (“The Foundation”) raised over $158,000 during its 29^th annual Golf Classic event at Huntingdon Valley Country Club. The annual golf outing serves as one of the signature fundraising and recognition events for The Foundation to support music therapy programs and other child life services. Presenting Sponsors of the outing included ADVANTAGE powered by JMFA, Mid-Atlantic Property Maintenance, Shields Business Solutions, and Stifel.

A record total of 166 golfers participated and enjoyed friendly competitions in various skills contests, which awarded winners in the Longest Drive, Putting Contest and the Closest to the Pin. The event’s volunteer staff and golfers enjoyed an afternoon on the green and ended the day with an Awards Banquet, a Silent Auction event, and a Helicopter Golf Ball Drop where hundreds of balls were dropped from a helicopter onto the green. The winner of this event received a cash prize and was determined by the ball that landed closest to the hole.

Since its inception, the Foundation has contributed over $3.7 million to the music therapy program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), as well as other pediatric health and life services at local hospitals and not-for-profit organizations. “It’s always an exciting day when Foundation supporters and event sponsors can enjoy a beautiful day on the course while raising funds for the Foundation,” stated the Foundation’s Founder and Chairman Bruce K. Foulke. “We are deeply appreciative of all our sponsors, business partners, credit union partners, volunteers, and event participants for their support of our Golf Outing and their unwavering commitment to the mission of the Kids-N-Hope Foundation.”
