Our Work

Supporting local families, charities and communities throughout Southeast Michigan

Community & Local Charities

 

Vision Hope: The Foundation has teamed with Vision Hope. Vision Hope runs at two week Champions for Life Kids Camp for helping abused and neglected children. We were happy to sponsor and volunteer at each week’s “Carnival Day” for the kids.

Rainbow Connection: The Foundation has joined with the Rainbow Connection to sponsor three wishes over the last two years. The Rainbow Connection grants wishes to Michigan children with life threatening or terminal illnesses.

Special Dreams Farm: A group of walk/runners represented the foundation at the Special Dreams Farm walk and an additional donation was made from the Robby Atherton Foundation. The Special Dreams Farm was established to supply the special needs community with opportunities to work, learn and live.

Hope Chapel: Donations were made to replace and repair the doors and stained glass windows at the historic Hope Chapel on the Shelby Township municipal grounds.

Mae Stecker Park: The foundation also constructed a pavilion at Mae Stecker Park, a park where Robby grew up playing basketball with friends. 

Food Banks: Donations have also been made to the Gleaners Food Bank and Trinity Lutheran Church SSS Volunteer Program.

      5th Annual Golf Outing

      5th Annual Golf Outing

      Start: August 20, 2012 10:00 am

      Our largest event and primary fund raiser. Last year, the 4th annual Robby Atherton Foundation Golf Outing was attended by 200+ golfers and 400+ dinner guests. The full day event includes complementary morning golf, driving range, 18 hole 4-person scramble, games/ prizes/ raffles, lunch and dinner. During dinner, donations will be given to this year’s Robby Atherton Foundation Recipients. A heartwarming evening that follows a great day on the course. Individual golfers, personal donations, corporate sponsorships and dinner guests are all a vital part of making this day a success
