Pitch for Kids Fund Holds
First Board Meeting of 2009 Season
Fishkill, N.Y. (March 19, 2009) – The
Renegades Pitch for Kids (PFK) Fund, the Special Events arm
of the Hudson Valley Renegades, recently held its annual
meeting of the Board of Directors. The volunteer board is
comprised of 40 community members from businesses throughout
the
Hudson
Valley.
The
annual meeting is the official kick-off of the PFK‘s season
of special events. Board members, along with PFK and
Renegades staff, establish fundraising goals for the year,
finalize the schedule of events, develop promotional
strategies, and recruit volunteers to serve as event chairs
and support for the year’s activities.
Highlights
of 2009 fundraising activities include, the Jail Break for
Home 5K run, now in its 7th
year, two golf outings, a home run Derby, kickball
tournament, four summer youth baseball camps, and
bowl-a-thon, to name a few. To date, there are more than 20
special events on the PFK Fund calendar. A complete calendar
of events, along with registration information and details,
is available on the PFK Fund website
www.pitchforkids.org.
“Our
schedule of fundraising events is intense,” said Rick Zolzer,
Executive Director of the PFK Fund. “Thanks to a dedicated
staff and motivated and involved board members, we are able
to be very successful with our special events each year.
That has translated into more than $500,000 in funds granted
to local organizations supporting children and families,”
Zolzer continued. “Being able to do that makes the non-stop
action all worthwhile.”
“Being
a part of the PFK Fund board makes me feel like I can make a
difference,” said Craig Wallace, long time board member and
attorney at Wallace & Wallace, LLP. “It’s more than just
fundraising and recruiting sponsors, the PFK events allow
businesses and residents of the Hudson Valley the
opportunity to come together to help better their community
– and have fun doing it.”
In
2008, the PFK awarded grants to The Children’s
Museum
of
Poughkeepsie,
Hudson
Valley
Civic
Center,
St. Basil’s Academy and St.
Francis Healthcare Foundation to name a few. The funds are
managed through the Community Foundation of Dutchess County.
Founded
in 1995, the Hudson Valley Renegades’ Pitch for Kids Fund is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for children and
families in the
Hudson
Valley
by supporting organizations whose programs make a positive
change in youth, their families, and the community.
The Fund was created by the team owners in order to
give back to the community that has shown them such great
support and dedication.
