Georgia-Based Nonprofit Seeking Golfers and Sponsors for Fundraising Event to Benefit Children in the Foster Care System In May 2022, Georgia-based 501(c)3 charity Jambos landed a hole-in-one with its first-ever Putting Fore Pajamas Golf Tournament. At the end of 18 holes, the nonprofit dedicated to bringing comfort to children in the foster care system had raised $10,000. This year, with its Second Annual Putting Fore Pajamas Golf Tournament planned for May 19 at Chateau Elan Winery & Resort, the nonprofit is calling on prospective sponsors and golfers to help make the 2023 reprise bigger and better than the first. “We planned our first and second Putting Fore Pajamas Golf Tournament for May, but not simply because the weather should be ideal for a great game of golf,” said Jambos Founder and CEO Rebekah Black. “May is also National Foster Care Month. There are over 400,000 children in the foster care system nationwide. Our mission is simple – to bring comfort to these children during what can often be an uncomfortable journey. These kids frequently arrive at a foster home with nothing but the clothes on their backs. The gift of a brand-new pair of pajamas can be a first step in making their transition a little easier. Not only does our tournament shine a spotlight on the need among children in the foster care system, but the funds raised will buy a lot of PJs and help cover the cost of shipping to foster homes in all 50 states of the U.S.” Black also issued an appeal to both golfers and companies that might be interested in sponsoring this year’s event. Sponsors already signed on to support the event include Banks, Stubbs & McFarland; H2O Proof & Foundation Repair; Rockefeller Capital Management; Thrivent®; Preferred Capital Management; Consolidated Electrical Distributors: DripBar Buford; LDG Accounting Services; Bullard Exteriors; Scooter’s Coffee; Premium Window & Door; and Excelsis Construction.
