Sports For Charity is an annual event hosted by the Fort Bend Community Church. We seek to partner with our community leaders and agencies in order to provide services to people undergoing hardships.
This year’s main event will be held on Sunday, October 23, 2011, beginning at 2 pm at the Fort Bend Community Church, benefiting Star of Hope. Star of Hope Mission is a Christ-centered community dedicated to meeting the needs of homeless men, women and their children. Positive life changes are encouraged through structured programs which focus on spiritual growth, education, employment, life management and recovery from substance abuse.
In 2010 SOHM cared for 5,083 men and women, and 1,418 children under 18 -- a total of 6,501 individuals! In addition, they served 680,409 nourishing, regular meals; provided 295,008 clean, safe beds; 90,348 pieces of clothing and toys to those who had lost everything; 54,980 diapers to the smallest victims of poverty! Last year, 122 teens participated in their teen program, focused on character-building and education; 801 resident men and women improved their job skills through their Career Development program and residents participated in 206,000 hours of classroom studies in the areas of substance abuse recovery, personal development, education and computer classes.
Many community leaders have committed to supporting and participating in this charitable event. We are hoping that your business will join forces with us by sponsoring this event. Your partnership in this fundraiser will have an impact on improving the quality of life for all who live in our community.
