We want to sincerely thank each and every family that participated in this years event.  A great time was had by everyone who attended and we are well on our way to bringing adaptable playgournds to Temple Terrace thanks to your help.

Keep your eyes open for information about next year’s tournament!

[See post to watch Flash video]

This Friday, March 13, will be our second annual fundraiser, and everyone is invited.  Set to take place from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. at the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club. While the headline event is the Glow-in-the-Dark golf tournament, plenty of other activities will be taking place on the first fairway while the golf tournament is happening.

With bounce houses, canrival games and an outdoor movie there’s plenty to keep the kids in your family having fun all night. 

As a preivew, here are  a couple of the items that will be available as part of the raffle and silent auction baskets.

• Golf foursome at The Concession Golf Club designed by Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin.
• 3 Day/2 Night stay a the Tradewinds Island Resorts
• Passes to Busch Gardens
• and so much more.

 Check back later in the week and we’ll have a full list of all the raffle and silent auciton items.

When you come on Friday night, don’t forget to bring your appetite.  Along with all the fun and excitement, there will be plenty of food too.

The Address 5004 E Fowler Ave Suite C-254 is incorrect.

The Correct Address is 5004 E Fowler Ave Suite Suite C-243.

I’m not quite sure how that happened, but I think it has a lot to do with finalizing stuff late at night.

We apologize for any problems this may have caused.  If you have any questions regarding this please feel free to shoot us an e-mail: cloudsofhope@verizon.net.

We will be hosting a Friday night family night – including a glow in the dark golf tournament - at the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club.  The Golf Tournament will involve adults and children – a family style event where each twosome will get pledges to sponsor their play!  And…there will be food, fun, and raffles!  You won’t want to miss it!  If you want to be a part of this – contact us at cloudsofhope@verizon.net.

Then…on Saturday night, we are planning a Gala event at the Golf and Country Club where Clouds of Hope will share our heart for our ministry!  We are excited about where God is leading us.  One of our big projects in 2009 will be to help Temple Terrace build two adaptable playgrounds so that each child can play -regardless of ability.  However, the bigger picture involves Clouds of Hope being able to reach out to many families in our community who are dealing with life altering illnesses!
