OUR WORK
Welcome Victorino Club Members!
 In January, the Shane Victorino Nicetown Boys & Girls Club held an open house for local community members. Shane and Melissa welcomed parents and children and tested out the basketball court with some of the kids.
As expressed by Shane, "It is great to see how excited the community is about this Club. The smiles on the kids' faces make all the hard work and effort that went into the renovations worth every second."
Programming at the Club will include: the arts, character & leadership development, education & career development, health & life skills, and sports, fitness & recreation.
You can view additional photos from the event and of the newly renovated club on our website.
Holiday Cheer
In December, the Foundation hosted its annual Las Vegas toy drive benefiting The Shade Tree women's and children's shelter and Toys for Tots. The event, held at PT's Gold, was a huge success! Close to 3,000 toys were collected - brightening the holidays for so many children in need. Pictured below with Shane is a group from The Shade Tree at the toy delivery.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Donor Spotlight
Special thanks to Tom Gonsiewski and Kampus Klothes for being an amazing partner to the Foundation! Kampus Klothes has graciously donated all of our screening and embroidery for the past three years and we can't thank them enough for their support.
As Good as Gold
In addition to hosting our 2011 toy  drive, PT's Gold's parent company, Golden Gaming Entertainment, designated the Shane Victorino Foundation as the beneficiary of their annual charity golf tournament in Las Vegas. The event raised an incredible $18,600! Words can't express how much we value their partnership.

The Aloha Spirit
2011 marked the second year of our partnership with Zippy's restaurants in Hawaii. Our promotion raised $22,000 through sales of the Vic Pac and baseball cutouts. Zippy's have been a generous sponsor of the Foundation and we look forward to many more years ahead!
At the end of last year, Shane and the Foundation began a new partnership with Foodland Hawaii, a locally-owned grocery chain. From now until November, you can show your support by purchasing the Flyin' Hawaiian poke at any Foodland store statewide! $0.25 from each pound sold goes to SVF, so be sure to pick some up today! |
