How could anyone hurt a child? It's shocking every time we hear another victim's story of abuse, neglect or abandonment. Yet, in the United States, child abuse is the leading cause of death in children under the age of 4. This problem is preventable though, and that's why we started the All-Star Children's Foundation.
The All-Star Children's Foundation (formerly Sarasota Sports Foundation) is determined to break the cycle of child abuse, neglect and abandonment in our community. Thanks to the generosity of many corporate sponsors, donors and volunteers, we have raised over $2,500,000 in the past four years. Our Celebrity Golf Tournament and Tennis Classic are our two largest fundraisers, and participating is a fun way for everyone to help the children in our community that need it most.
Featured Partner In Prevention
Girls Inc. is one of our major partners in the battle against child abuse. This year, Girls Inc. was awarded a $25,000 grant from the All-Star Children's Foundation to help fund an in-home counseling program, which has had tremendous success in the last year.
Girls Inc. is dedicated to inspiring all girls to be Strong, Smart and Bold. Thank you for all of your hard work in furthering our mission to prevent child abuse, neglect and abandonment!
Our Sincerest Thanks!
A special thank you to to all of our sponsors, participants and volunteers who made the 5th Annual Serving Up a Grand Slam Tennis Classic such a huge success! We had a fantastic weekend - from a "Groovy Kind of Love" party to an awesome Pro Exhibition spearheaded by Petr Korda to lots of great tennis by our local players - all to benefit our most vulnerable children! Thank you to all of our teammates in the fight against child abuse!
Founding Sponsor
We would like to extend a sincere thank you to our Founding Sponsor and the Official Sponsor of our two annual fundraisers, Longboat Key Club & Resort. Their financial, emotional and volunteer support since the Foundation's inception has been amazing. They are truly making a difference in the lives of many children!
