This past Saturday, members of the Colette’s Children’s Home staff attended the 17th Annual Ingram Micro Charity Golf Classic as one of six recipient charities in Orange County.  Ingram Micro presented us, and each of the other organizations, with a check for $25,000, which is the highest amount ever distributed through this golf tournament.  As the amounts were kept a surprise until the checks were presented at the tournament luncheon, we were overwhelmed and unprepared for such a donation. We are so grateful and honored by this gift, because when combined with our matching grant sources, it will yield about $100,000 to support the operations and supportive services of our shelters.  This is enough to fully fund one of our shelters for about six months!  Ingram Micro has been a long time supporter of the work we do here, and we are eternally thankful for their support.
