For those who aren’t familiar, the Strike-Out Domestic Violence Bowl-A-Thon is the DA’s Office annual fundraiser to help trauma exposed youth in Shasta County - while you bowl the night away with your friends, family and co-workers. All money raised at the event will be used to send Shasta County kids and teens who have been exposed to family violence & trauma to Camp Resilience hosted by the Family Dynamics Resource Center. Camp Resilience is an evidence based camping and mentoring program that encourages kids to learn, build confidence, and emotional resilience through fun outdoor activities with other children who have had similar life experiences. The primary ways we raise money during the bowl-a-thon are by collecting a $100 PER PERSON donation raised by each participating bowling team, raffling-off donated gift baskets, and obtaining sponsorships from local organizations and businesses. Each bowling team donation will send at least one child to camp. The cost for each child to go to camp is $400.

Cost per person: $100
How to get the money: Ask your friends and family to help sponsor you. Or donate from the kindness of your heart.

AccessHome is inviting the public to attend its open house on Wednesday, October 12 from 3PM to 7PM.

Since 1997, as a non-profit organization AccessHome has served our communities with affordable housing solutions to serve our Seniors, Veterans, those with disabilities, workforce families, displaced residents, and others with income challenges.
Historically, AccessHome focused primarily on existing residential solutions but has recently shifted its focus to develop property and build homes, including the very first 3D printed homes in the state of California. The first two homes will be occupied by Park Hosts who qualify for the position. Come to the Open House to learn more about this opportunity. You’ll get to meet our Executive Team and learn about volunteer opportunities with the organization.

There will be food and refreshments at the AccessHome Open House on October 12th from 3PM to 7PM. AccessHome is located at 715 Parkview Ave. Suite 1 in Redding, behind city hall. For more information, call 530-224-2800 or visit the website: www.accesshome.org

The Youth Essentials Partnership Foundation hosts this annual golf tournament to raise money to fund foundation activities throughout the year.

About the Foundation: The Youth Essentials Partnership Foundation is a non-profit organization that helps children in our Northern California community whose basic needs aren’t met. As a result of hunger, improper clothing, and lack of funds to support extra-curricular activities, these children fall behind in their academic pursuit and social development. We formed this organization to ensure that the children in our schools are able to have necessities so that they can focus on simply being kids. With great existing programs that we are championing and a variety of additional programs to support these needs, we believe that we enhance the quality of life for our underprivileged youth; thereby, contributing to our entire community and state – making it a better place to live. Further, we believe that we alter the course of some children’s lives to the extent that they feel valued and equal to their peers which gives them an opportunity to be future healthy contributors to our local and state economies.

Youth Essentials Partnership (YEP) Foundation Programs: 100% of funds received go back to local kids in our community. All administrative costs are covered by YEPF Board members. All kids who benefit are referred directly by our local partners (schools, sports organizations, etc.) who have identified a high need.
