Sporting Clays Tournament & Evening Party
HONORING AMANDA & JON WEEKS
For questions, please contact Hayley at 713-529-1396 or hayley.jaska@childadvocates.org.
The Pull for Kids Classic is Child Advocates’ largest fundraiser. It will kick off on Saturday morning with the annual Pull for Kids Classic Sporting Clays Tournament for both individual and corporate teams at the American Shooting Centers. The clay shoot will include great food, games and fun giveaways. It is sure to be a wonderful time, all while benefiting Child Advocates and ‘pulling’ for our kids.
Saturday evening we will enjoy a "Fortieth Fiesta" at Bayou City Event Center. Our relaxed, evening party will entertain you with a delicious dinner and drinks plus incredible live, silent and big board auction items—all while we share a moving story about our mission.
Your investment is needed more than ever and will support Child Advocates’ work implementing essential programs to better address the unique and complex needs of foster youth and help them heal from childhood trauma. Please join us as we raise $685,000 this year to give Child Advocates the resources to serve 1,350 children in 2024.
About the Honorees
Over the last 14 years, Amanda and Jon have been committed to the mission of Child Advocates and continually supported our cause in many ways. As a tenured Texans player, Jon uses his platform to spread awareness of the organization every time he steps onto the field. Year after year, Jon has chosen to support Child Advocates during the NFL's My Cause My Cleats initiative. Every NFL season, the Weeks purchase tickets so children served by Child Advocates can attend a Texans football game. Jon made Child Advocates synonymous with his name while being nominated for the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year award this past season. For the past twelve years, the Weeks have hosted an annual holiday shopping spree for some of our children to help make their holiday season a bit brighter. Their involvement with Child Advocates and the children we serve is unwavering, and we are thrilled to have them as our honorees for our 2024 Pull for Kids Classic.
About Child Advocates
Every 8 minutes, a child in Texas experiences abuse or neglect.
Last year over, 6,000 children in the Houston area experienced such life-threatening abuse or neglect that they had to be removed from their homes and placed in foster care. Child Advocates trains everyday people to advocate for the best interests of these children in court so they can find safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible.
A family reunited thanks to their advocate
Damarius said, "I just want to go to school. I want to graduate and I want to go to college." So Coy made sure he didn't fall through the cracks.
One grandmother shows she can care for six children in order to keep the family together.
A family reunited thanks to their advocate
Since 1984, Child Advocates has recruited and trained over 5,800 advocates who have helped over 26,600 children.
By underwriting or attending this fundraising event, you will ensure that more foster children in Houston will receive the support of an advocate.
