Bruce Pearl Fore the Children
The Bruce Pearl Fore the Children Golf Classic is a charitable tournament dedicated to supporting Children’s Harbor and other children’s charities. Since its inception, BP Fore the Children has raised over $2 million to benefit children in need. The event, which takes place at Lake Martin each May, serves as a vital fundraiser that funds essential programs and initiatives aimed at improving the lives of children and providing them with opportunities to succeed.
Children's Harbor
Service Children with Serious Illnesses
Children’s Harbor was founded in 1989 as a nonprofit organization and began the journey of its mission in serving children with serious illnesses and their families for many years to come. The Lake Martin Campus was created to provide camp at no cost for families who are navigating the turbulent sea of change that accompanies the diagnosis of a serious illness or disability. The picturesque lake front and multiple handicap accessible facilities create an inviting, peaceful sanctuary for the children and families facing life-altering and sometimes life-threatening illnesses.
In 2001, Children’s Harbor extended its services through the addition of its second location, “The Harbor” Family Center at Children’s of Alabama in Birmingham. Many families experience a whirling sea of emotions and need guidance in the midst of the stormy waters brought by physical changes, emotional changes and financial burdens. The Harbor provides a refuge – a safe harbor – for those children and families through its counseling services, education services, family activities and respite.
