2009 Most Profitable Year Ever for DPRF!
We are proud to announce that in 2009 we had our most profitable fundraising year ever! In May, we hosted our annual golf outing, and decided to add a morning tee time to support the overflow of the sold out afternoon outing. We are very pleased to say we had 174 golfers participate. Also in July, numerous friends & family joined us at a Lakewood Blue Claws game. That evening, we sold over 200 tickets and raised $1500 through all of your generous donations.
In September, the Friends and Neighbors in Action chose our organization along with Embrace Kids to participate in their Annual 5K Race. With 300 walkers/runners, $26,000 was raised and distributed amongst the three charities. It was their most successful race ever! Also in the Fall, Kenny ran the NYC marathon in honor of his brother Danny. He completed the race in 4:19, and raised $4500 for the foundation.
Finally, in December we received some very exciting news. The DPRF is now Federally recognized as a 501(c)3.
