ART 180 gives young people in challenging circumstances the chance to express themselves through art, and to share their stories with others. Using art to turn lives and communities around 180 degrees, we offer outlets in creative expression for children who need art—children who face considerable obstacles and countless negative influences.
Through after-school programs in collaboration with schools, neighborhood centers, and other community partners, young people discover ways they can positively engage in and influence their surroundings. From stained glass to poetry to drumming to filmmaking, we use art to encourage self-discovery. The young artists are asked to explore critical personal statements that reinforce their sense of identity and purpose, such as: What is a hero? What do I want people to know about me? How can I make my community a better place?
During the course of a program the young people learn how to identify and overcome challenges they encounter as they move through the creative process. This becomes a metaphor for learning how to identify and overcome challenges they will face as they move through life.
To play: The cost is only $125 per golfer in this Captain's Choice tournament. Your entrance fee covers the greens fee, cart rental, range balls, lunch, beverages AND all you can eat and drink at a cookout following the tournament sponsored by Glory Days. You also get one free round on Independence Golf Club's 9 Hole Short Course.
To sponsor: For $250, you can sponsor a hole, sharing your name and brand with 136 golfers, guests and the community. A $500 contribution gives your company more visibility as a contest or project sponsor. A lunch sponsorship is available for $750, and a beverage sponsorship costs $1,000. Or you can increase your company's visibility with the $1,500 platinum sponsorship, $3,000 titanium sponsorship, $5,000 "Monet" sponsorship or $10,000 "Picasso" sponsorship.
Remember, it is because of you that we can make a difference in the lives of children in the heart of Virginia.

Please note: 10% of the proceeds from this year's tournament will benefit the Coal Pit Learning Center. Coal Pit, located in Glen Allen, provides childcare and support for low income families. Striving to provide these children with the essential social, emotional and academic skills to break out of the cycle of poverty, Coal Pit Learning Center relies entirely upon donations, private gifts and grants to stay funded.
