You need stuff. And Goochland High School students need to go to camp. It’s a win-win situation!

Golfers Tee Up to Help Goochland Young Life

Goochland Young Life got a boost today as four golfers came out for the annual Young Life Golf Tournament at Hermitage Country Club. Through sponsorships from friends, the Goochland team raised thousands of dollars in support of Young Life in Goochland County.

 Thanks to Chesterfield and West End Young Life for inviting Goochland to participate in what has become an annual tradition for Young Life in the Richmond region!

Bluegrass & BBQ

At our recent Bluegrass & BBQ fundraiser, we had a great time celebrating the way Young Life is at work in Goochland. Through its weekly meetings, Young Life reaches at least one out of every 10 kids at Goochland High School! For some of those kids, Young Life is the only time they hear about Jesus, His life and His love for them.

Everyone at the BBQ loved hearing from senior Whit Bates who told us Young Life didn't exist in Goochland when he was a freshman. He's seen what a difference it's made for his friends and for his school, and he hopes Young Life will be in Goochland High School for many years to come.

 

2012 Dodge Ball Tourney!

Goochland Young Life is hosting a Dodge Ball Tournament to help kids raise money for Young Life Summer Camp (also known as the best week of your life!).

The tournament will be held from 12:30 - 3 pm on Saturday May 5 at Goochland High School. A team of 5 can register for $50, and the money goes to a good cause! Each team’s registration fee can be directed to help a specific kid’s camp costs or it will go into the general campership fund.

Want to help? We need volunteers to help register teams on Sat. May 5. Please let Ian McIntosh know if you can help.
