July 16, 2008 - Bid from the Heart sponsored the Greater Fredericksburg Habitat for Humanity golf tournament that took place in late June. The sponsorship is part of Bid from the Heart’s commitment to local and regional charities.
"We are proud to work within our local communities for such worthy causes," said Matt Silberman, founder of Bid from the Heart. He continued by stating: "We are a company with the mission of supporting charitable organizations and assisting their efforts to raise the funds needed to do their great work."
The Greater Fredericksburg Habitat for Humanity is a wonderful organization which serves the Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, King George and Stafford County areas of Virginia. Like many other parts of the country, Virginia is suffering from housing pressures for average working families like local fire, police and teachers, who cannot afford to live where they work. This issue is compounded by the recent increase in gasoline prices, which means that the families’ incomes are stretched even further due to long commutes to work.
The first annual golf tournament took place on June 22, 2008 and was a significant fundraising event for Greater Fredericksburg Habitat for Humanity. The organization will use the funds raised from tournament sponsors, participants, and related activities to build additional homes in the communities it serves. These homes will be provided to needy families who might not otherwise possess the financial means to own their residence.
Bid from the Heart is a company with the mission of providing resources to non-profit organizations.
