Beech Acres Parenting Center had its “Kickin’ It For Kids” fundraiser, which included a round of footgolf.
Participants battled in teams, both family-friendly and competitive, at Reeves Golf Course in East End, kicking soccer balls down golf courses into giant holes.
The fundraiser’s honorary chair is B.J. Durel. By sharing their inspiring story, Durel and his wife Calena have brought national attention to the need for foster families.
B.J. and Calena planned to adopt two girls after several failed attempts to build a family, only to discover that they were expecting twins of their own. They were lucky to grow fast into a family of four children.
“Beech Acres as a whole has been great for our family – they’ve been great for so many other families,” says Durel. “So, it’s just a way for me to kind of mesh two of my passions together and to do whatever I could to help Beech Acres out and raise awareness for foster care.”
In addition to the game of footgolf, the fundraiser included a station where participants could make bracelets, colour, and play soccer with FC Cincinnati’s mascot, Gary the Lion.
This event took almost a year to plan, yet it attracted families who wanted to spend time with all of their children.
