While no walked away with a million bucks after sinking a hole-in-one, participants in Hathaway-Sycamores Child and Family Services' recent “Shot-at-a-Million” Golf Classic made a meaningful difference for children in need by raising $175,000. Proceeds from the annual event, which this year was held at the Jack Nicklaus designed Angeles National Golf Course in Sunland, will help fund educational and therapeutic-treatment programs for the challenged youngsters served by Hathaway-Sycamores, the largest provider of children’s mental-health services in Los Angeles County.

Hathaway-Sycamores’ President and CEO William Martone thanked everyone in attendance and applauded their “generous support of Hathaway-Sycamores’ efforts to help children, adolescents, and young adults—most of whom have suffered unimaginable trauma—rebuild their lives and become productive citizens.” Following Martone’s remarks, Brad Freer was presented with the Travelling Trophy, awarded to the golfer or team that raises the most money. Brad’s pledges and sponsorships brought in close to $60,000 which put him at the top of the proceeds list.

McDonald, now 20, was in the foster-care system from the age of 14, and a longtime victim of abuse. In her senior year of high school, McDonald moved from foster care into Hathaway-Sycamores’ Transitional Independent Living Program, through which she was provided housing as well as a job at King Ranch Market in Pasadena. Today, McDonald is employed by Hathaway-Sycamores, and is working toward a degree that will enable her to serve as one of the agency’s therapeutic behavioral specialists. Summing up her situation, McDonald told the audience, “At times, life and school can be very challenging. Yet, with the help of my team at Hathaway-Sycamores, I know that I can overcome every challenge that I come across.” |
