MacDougall: Safe House thanks community

May was Homeless Youth Awareness Month and on May 21 many caring individuals and businesses joined together to support the Safe House of Lake County.


Over 40 golfers met at Rob Roy Golf Course on a gorgeous spring day for 18 holes of golf. Each hole had numerous sponsors who paid $100 for their sponsorships. The beautiful day concluded with a delicious Western buffet and a live auction.


In the end, the event raised over $13,000 for the Safe House. These funds will help to maintain the utilities and other basic costs of the house for one year. Additional funds will need to be raised to pay for the food and basic needs of the students, but the generosity of the donors, golfers, and dinner guests will keep the doors open for another year.


The Safe House has housed 38 teens over the past two years and currently has four young residents. Three of these residents are graduating from high school – something that very well might not have occurred had the Safe House not been available.


These teens and everyone involved in the Safe House would like to thank the following donors for their generosity: A & B Collision, Rich and Pat Adams, Lynn Andre, Gary Bagnani, Martha Bakerjian, Henry and Bernice Bartolucci, Baughn and Cameron, Aggie Berry, Fred and Lisa Bowe, Braito’s Marina, Braito’s Riviera Foods.
