JOIN US FOR OUR ANNUAL JOY OF GIVING GOLF TOURNAMENT AND HIT A HOLE-IN-ONE FOR KIDS!

Join us September 19, 2022, at Belmont Country Club in Ashburn, Virginia, as Touching Heart brings together the area’s top executives for a day of golf for a great cause, our Joy of Giving Golf Tournament. The day includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, a full day of golf at one of the area’s premier courses, amazing swag bags and unique auction items, fun activities at each hole, the opportunity to promote your organization, and most importantly, the chance to make a difference in the lives of children. This event sells out early so contact us early to reserve your spot today!

Our annual golf tournament and our generous golf sponsors fund Touching Heart programs for an entire year! Our programs inspire children to be compassionate and loving leaders. Since our founding in 2010, Touching Heart’s programs have enabled children to realize that they can make a difference in the world. Our signature program, Kids on a Mission, gives children of all ages the opportunity to plan and implement a fundraiser of their choice, benefitting a cause they select. Our Schools on a Mission after school program, gives even more children the opportunity to take action to help others, while learning about the importance of compassion and giving.

By participating in our golf tournament or becoming a sponsor, you are making these programs possible and helping us realize our mission of inspiring kids to have giving hearts!  This is just the beginning of what we can accomplish – one child, one heart at a time.

Touching Heart is a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring the next generation to become compassionate and philanthropic leaders. For over a decade, we have been focused on making a transformative and positive impact on the lives of young people by teaching the importance of kindness, compassion and giving. Touching Heart believes that planting the seed of compassionate leadership early and providing opportunities for its growth will instill in children the belief that their actions have value and can truly make a difference in our world. Through our award-winning programs, we create meaningful opportunities for children to find their voice, become compassionate leaders, and make a difference in the lives of others.

Since its founding in 2010, Touching Heart has donated over $200,000 to people in need in our own community and around the world, impacting over 30,000 children. Through its kid-inspired and kid-led programs, Touching Heart has had the privilege of providing local shelters with beds, bedding, cold weather care packs, socks, books, opportunities for homeless children to attend summer camp, holiday parties and many thousands of meals. It has also faithfully supported local children in foster care with clothing, winter coats and boots, beds, cribs, diapers, school supplies, backpacks, blankets, toys, birthday cakes, foster family celebrations, gift cards, summer camp, hundreds of Christmas presents and more.

Internationally, Touching Heart’s kid-driven events have funded life-improving projects for children in desperate need around the world from Mozambique to Kenya to Uganda to Haiti and beyond. Just a few of the things that have been made possible by Touching Heart kids are: shoes, clothing, beds,  blankets, mosquito netting, food gardens, school supplies, farming materials, solar panels, bio-gas system, water wells, security walls, medical supplies … and so much more.

While these projects and donations will help thousands of children now and in the years to come, Touching Heart’s true legacy is its kid leaders who have made this possible through their compassion for others and desire to step up and take action to make lives better. These inspiring young leaders are already creating staggering change, and it is our sincere hope and vision that they are just getting started.

Touching Heart delivers its mission through four exciting and inspiring programs:

SCHOOLS ON A MISSION

Schools on a Mission is an after-school program designed to being the joy of giving into a classroom curriculum. This program uses fun and engaging
project-based learning that allows students to think beyond themselves as they are introduced to the concept of philanthropy. Through this program, kids meet once-a-week after school and build their communication and leadership skills,
as well as their confidence, while learning about people in need within their communities and around the world. Students also participate in leadership development activities and empathy exercises as they turn their compassion
into action!

KIDS ON A MISSION

Our Kids on a Mission program shows kids how they can make a real impact on the world around them. Young leaders are challenged to step outside their comfort zones and experience the power of compassion as they create their own unique fundraising events for a cause of their choice. They gain event planning, communication, public speaking and leadership skills as they work as a team to make a difference to those in need. This program is a true example of kids helping kids!

AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

As a Touching Heart Ambassador, students are part of a community of like-minded young people who are passionate about making a meaningful difference in the world. They become a voice for Touching Heart and continue to do good, both in local communities and around the world. This program is designed to attract a dynamic, service-oriented group of young people. As an ambassador, they promote awareness of Touching Heart and it’s purpose, as well as participate in various events and activities throughout the year.

SUMMER SERVICE CAMP

Touching Heart’s Summer Service Camp provides kids with a unique opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of those in need, both locally and around the world. Our program is unlike any other. With our guest speakers, lesson-based activities, and hands-on community service projects, campers have FUN while actively doing something to help those in need. Touching Heart’s Summer Service Camp provides a positive place to inspire kids to become leaders in their community and to have a giving heart!
