3rd Annual Darnestown Elementary PTA Charity Golf Tournament

IMPACT OF FUNDRAISER
Proceeds will from the 3rd Annual DES PTA Charity Golf Tournament will directly benefit the ongoing work of the Darnestown ES PTA and CaringMatters.

The Darnestown ES PTA provides learning enrichment programs, staff appreciation opportunities, hands-on service initiatives, and social activities that build community. 

CaringMatters, founded originally in 1989 as 'Hospice Caring' and headquartered in Gaithersburg, MD, impacts the lives of children, adults, and families facing serious illness and grieving the death of a love one.  CaringMatters increases community awareness and advocacy about end-of-life concerns while serving the culturally and economically diverse residents of Montgomery County, MD.  Their work has earned CaringMatters a Maryland Nonprofit Seal of Excellence and accolades as one of the "best small nonprofit organizations in the Washington, D.C. area".

• Recognizing that children often grieve differently from adults, CaringMatters offers children grief support services free of charge facilitated by trained staff and volunteers in group environments.  These programs include:
  • Parenting While Grieving Worshop Series: Supporting a Child Grieving the Death of a Parent
  • Family Nights
  • Good Grief Clubs for Children (K-12 in schools throughout Montgomery County, MD)
