VERO BEACH — Youth Guidance is shaking things up in Vero Beach with a brand new fundraiser, the Heli-Drop Ball Bash & BBQ, on Saturday, Feb. 11, from 4:30 to 10 p.m., at the Vero Beach Sports Village, 3901 26th Street in Vero Beach. $10,000 in cash prizes will be given away!
The excitement begins with a kickball game between City & County officials, followed by the dramatic dropping of 750 numbered golf balls from a helicopter on the field. The golf ball closest to the target wins $5000, second closest wins $2500, third closest wins $1000 and $500 each for the 4th, 5th and 6th closest winners.
The fun continues with Bono’s BBQ and live music from Crooked Creek.
General Admission is $25. Admission for one with one Heli-Drop Golf Ball is $100 and admission for two with two Heli-Drop Golf Balls is $150. You must have a Heli-Drop Ball ($100 each/$150 for two) for a chance to win the big cash prizes.
Youth Guidance needs to sell 750 ‘Golf Balls’ to reach their goal of netting $30,000 on this exciting new fundraising event. Community members can help by becoming a ‘Chopper Champ’. Each Chopper Champ will be given 10 Heli-Drop Golf Ball tickets to sell.
Interested persons can call the Youth Guidance office at 770-5040 to let them know they want to sell tickets and Youth Guidance will mail them 10 tickets. If individuals are unable to sell all the tickets they can return them to Youth Guidance by January 15. When supporters sell all 10 Golf Ball tickets they will receive complimentary general admission for two to the Heli-Drop Ball Bash & BBQ, a $50 value.
The primary purpose of Youth Guidance is to match each of its nearly 700 at-risk K-12 grade children with a volunteer mentor 21 years or older and keep youth engaged in positive educational, cultural and recreational year-round activities. The agency is actively seeking volunteers to serve as mentors, tutors, or periodic volunteers at ongoing activities for the unmatched children in the program, or to provide regular help in the office.
