The Champions for Child Safety Golf Tournament raises $585,000 for the Monique Burr Foundation

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Dec. 10, 2024 - PRLog -- The Monique Burr Foundation for Children (MBF) proudly announces its 2024 Dream Finders Homes Champions for Child Safety Pro Am Golf Tournament, presented by AT&T, Impact Landscaping and Irrigation, The Jahna Family, Jax Utilities Management, MJC Land Development, and Perry Homes, raised a record $585,000 to support the development and delivery of MBF Prevention Education Programs, which educate and empower children to protect them from abuse, bullying, and other types of victimization. Since 1994, the tournament has raised more than $5.5 million for MBF.

During the 2024 Pairings Party (sponsored by Lennar Homes), MBF recognized longtime legacy supporters, Club Car, Pepsi Co, Jacobsen, and Southern Glazers Wine and Spirits, for supporting the event since its inception.

"I have often said that our impact and growth have exceeded my wildest expectations," said Edward Burr, MBF Founder and Board Chairman. "And this year, having honored our legacy supporters, I am filled with incredible gratitude for each and every one of our champions for child safety, the committed team at MBF, and all of our partners and supporters who enable us to realize our important mission daily."

The annual tournament, benefitting MBF, offered corporate teams and individuals the opportunity to golf with professional golfers at The Palencia Club in St. Augustine.

"We continue to be so humbled and honored by the outpouring of support year after year," said Tanya Ramos-Puig, MBF Chief Executive Officer. "We are so grateful for the incredible generosity of all our committed sponsors, partners and friends, who serve as ambassadors and fuel our efforts to save lives. Together, we will continue to build a safer and brighter tomorrow for our youth across the nation, and the around the world."

All proceeds from the Dream Finders Homes Champions for Child Safety Pro Am Golf Tournament support MBF and MBF Prevention Education Programs. These programs are designed to empower youth, equipping them with strategies to prevent, recognize, and respond appropriately to various challenges such as bullying, online dangers, child abuse, and exploitation/trafficking. Since their development, MBF Programs have reached 16 million kids, yet there are still so many children that MBF needs to reach.
