When 65 kids from Pahokee are asked what they did on their summer vacation they will have quite a story to tell!

New Hope Charities summer camp just concluded a full, fun and action packed program. Campers enjoyed art and soccer modules thanks to a grant from the Center for Creative Education. For the first time ever they enjoyed a golf program with the assistance of Coach Jack, thanks to a grant from First Tee, and have completed wonderful art projects with art teacher Paul Wallace. Day trips included visits to Lion Country Safari and Jungle Island that were sponsored in part by a generous gift from Lourdes and Jose Pepe Fanjul, Jr. Daily activities at the Family Center in Pahokee included a literacy program created in collaboration with the Palm Beach County Library System, where the children participated in a reading club.

They each received a copy of a book read as a gift. As always the computer lab was a favorite activity and all of the students rotated through the lab to access educational and fun sites with games and activities. Computer Lab

A highlight of this summer was the participation of art teacher Paul Wallace from the Center on Creative Education. Mr. Wallace said of his New Hope Charities experience, “I enjoy working with the kids because they remind me of myself many years ago. I was lucky to have had very good mentors in a facility not unlike New Hope when I was a kid living in a poor neighborhood. It made a big difference in my life and I like that I can give back to kids in a similar situation.”

This year afforded the children a unique opportunity to have a counselor who was once a student at New Hope Charities After-School Program. Eric Lawson attended the program from 2001 through 2007. This year he requested to return to the center as a counselor. When we talk about success stories of NHC students Eric is a perfect example of both academic success and the desire to give back to his community. Eric is currently a junior at University of Florida. Of his experience at New Hope Charities he said, “I always think about New Hope and what it did for me. New Hope kept me out of trouble and the staff was always nice to me. I like being able to return and help the program that helped me so much”. Family Center Director, Guillermo Rivera stated, “Eric was a tremendous addition to our staff this past summer. The kids easily identified with him when they learned he was a former NHC student and learned that

they too can succeed in whatever they choose to do in the future.”

Message from the President and Executive Director

As we embark on another season of events in support of New Hope Charities, we wanted to take a minute to thank our board, donors, event supporters and volunteers for your help throughout the past season.

Highlights of what contributions have helped to achieve at the Family Center in Pahokee this past year include:

• After School Program – 76% of students show marked academic improvement. • We are the only non-Board of Education agency

selected to implement a pilot program, Afterschool Literacy Enhancement Program (ALEI). Over 2,000 books read. • Food Program – 2,316 food bags were distributed to families in need and close to $150,000 in home essentials were gifted through our partnership with Bed Bath and Beyond.• New Hope Charities - accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) recognizing outstanding providers of human services.• 2500 toys distributed for the holiday through the Annual Toy Drive.

It is with much pride and gratitude that we ask you to please join us again this year and extend our hand in friendship to all those who have taken New Hope Charities’ families and children into their hearts. Thank you!

Golf for Kids Tournament Raises Funds for Family Center

New Hope Charities, Inc. held its 12th Annual Golf for Kids Tournament, chaired by Alex Fanjul and William Surtees, on April 23, 2012 at the prestigious Dye Preserve in Jupiter. The event raised over $65,000 in support of New Hope Charities’ programs helping children and families in western Palm Beach County.

Windy conditions made The Dye Preserve’s ‘Pete Dye-designed’ golf course even more challenging, but this did not hamper the golfers resolve to make the best

of the day. Participants had a great time while raising funds for a good cause.

Events of the day included putting contests, a Cuban-style lunch buffet, a raffle offering exciting prizes, a live auction, and an awards ceremony with cocktails following the tournament. Gracious supporters of this event each year include Sheriff Bradshaw on behalf of the Palm Beach County Sheriff Department offering a “Sheriff for a Day” package for our live auction, Al Packer Ford providing the Hole-in-One Car Prize, and our event Sponsors – William H. Pitt Foundation, Florida Crystals, AON Risk, CASE IH/Glade & Grove Supply Co., Bacardi, and SSI Petroleum.

They plan to add a mentoring program for junior and high school students and to use the New Hope Charities location as a clinical rotation training site for medical professionals.

I am especially pleased to join New Hope Charities serving the people of Pahokee. Since coming to Florida I have developed an abiding affection for the Glades region and believe there is no other place more deserving of my professional efforts.
