About the Ga. Sheriffs’ Youth Homes:

Over 60 years ago, sheriffs of Georgia founded the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes, a residential care program, to help children who have been abandoned, neglected, and abused.

There are five Youth Home campuses across the state in which residents live in a structured, loving environment. The children attend public school and are offered spiritual and moral teachings. They also receive valuable training and services to help them grow into responsible, successful adults including:

Life Skills Training: The children in our program contribute to the home environment while learning to cook, and clean, as well as money management – all practical skills they will need to live productive and responsible lives.

Educational Support: Daily academic tutoring, research training at the library, summer learning programs, college and vocational school scholarship options, and more.

Recreation: Children are involved in extra-curricular activities in school and the community such as outdoor adventures including camping, attending professional sporting events, movies, and other structured programs and field trips.

About the Tournament and Pricing:

The golf course will charge a fee for the tournament, and the rest of the proceeds will go directly to the Ga Sheriffs’ Youth Homes. The Crisp County Sheriff’s Office does not receive any of the proceeds. Secondly, because we are trying to raise and donate as much money as possible, the winners of the golf tournament will not receive a monetary payout. Winners will receive gifts and prizes donated by our local business supporters. We understand that some feel that $600 per team is high, and that’s okay. We will push forward and continue to support our youth with those who understand and appreciate the cause.
