Again this year, 100% of the proceeds from the Putt FORE Kids! will benefit area children through United Way of Union County’s Youth Arts and Recreation Grant Fund. Created in 2001 to increase access to art and recreation opportunities for area youth, the fund has opened doors for hundreds of children. It keeps them involved in positive, structured activities and out of trouble by paying the participation fee for families who would be unable to afford them.

Recent grants awarded from money raised by the Putt FORE Kids has helped support youth participating in:

Did you know that the hours between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. are the times when adolescents are most likely to get into trouble? It’s between the end of the school day and before Mom or Dad get home from work when many kids are left unsupervised.

“Keeping children involved in positive, structured activities is a key in guiding them down the right path,” says Mike Heifner a United Way volunteer who helped establish the Youth Arts & Recreation Grant Fund in 2001.

Since its inception, United Way has awarded more than $99,000 to qualifying organizations through the fund. For grant applications, call our office or visit us online.
