Dear Community Partners, 
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for your unwavering commitment to supporting families served by Stafford Social Services. For over 35 years, our community has collaborated to provide essential auxiliary programs for families receiving benefits through Stafford DSS. One of the primary sources of funding for these programs is our annual charity golf tournament. 
In 2025, we will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Golf Classic for Stafford's Kids. This charity event represents our sole fundraising initiative throughout the year, aimed at addressing needs that are not met by local, state, or federal resources. Contributions directly benefit our children and families through various programs conducted throughout the year. These are just a few examples of the many initiatives we undertake thanks to the generosity of sponsors like you:  
Foster children and their families experience a fun day at Kings Dominion, an event they eagerly anticipate each year. 
Assist senior citizens with their prescription costs. 
Gift cards for teenagers and seniors during the annual holiday program, as teens and seniors are often the most underserved populations during the holidays. 
Maintaining a fully stocked pantry with essential items for our community, including diapers, warm clothing, clean undergarments, sanitary products, formula, and school supplies. 
We are currently seeking players, sponsors, and individuals who might be willing to donate items for a raffle. The proceeds contribute to a worthy cause – children in the community. I encourage you to consider donating, sponsoring a hole, or assembling a team for a team-building event. Your support benefits the community of Stafford and our children. Contributions may be tax deductible.  Please consult with your tax professional on the potential deductibility/amount of this contribution. 
Please find attached the registration form and additional details for the golf tournament. Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (540) 658-8730 or Erin.k.riley@dss.virginia.gov  
Thank you,
