Who Wants To Go To Costa Rica?

 

 

Everyone does!  What a beautiful place to relax with your special someone.  All you have to do to have a chance at this trip for two to the Four Seasons Resort in Costa Rica at Papgayo is to buy a golf ball or two...or more. We are having a BALL DROP event at our Golf fundraiser where 2000 golf balls will be dropped from a helicopter as it hovers over one of the holes. The ball that goes into the hole or comes closest to the pin is the winner! The more balls you buy......the more chances you have to WIN!!   It could be YOU!!! See the link below to our website for details about this fundraiser and how you can participate.

Make Plans to Attend the 2nd Annual Golf Classic......or at least Buy a Ball!!

Changing Minds Foundation's biggest annual fundraiser is coming up on October 28th.  It is the Golf Classic, and it will be held at Wildcat Golf Club in Houston, TX.  Last year was our first year and it was so successful, thanks to David Moehlman, a CMF parent and the sole organizer of the tournament, that we are doing it again!  We hope you will plan to participate in some way.  If you golf, you can sign up a team of 4 to play.  If you don't, your company can be a corporate sponsor, or you and your family and friends can buy golf balls for the Ball Drop Contest.  At the beginning of the tournament, we will have a helicopter hover over one of the holes and drop 2000 golf balls at once.  The ball that goes in the hole or is closest to the pin wins!  The winner gets a trip for two to the Four Seasons Resort in Costa Rica!  For more information about this fundraiser, or to register, go to the link below:

Golf Tournament for Down Syndrome Awareness

Today is the first Annual Golf Tournament for the Changing Minds Foundation in Houston, Texas. We hope to raise awareness and funds for research and treatment options. David and Millicent Moehlman, parents of Alex (who has Down syndrome), have dedicated themselves to organizing the entire event. There is a full slate of golf teams and an exciting ball drop (2000 golf balls from a helicopter - closest to the pin wins a trip to Cabo). We will post video of the ball drop and the golf event tomorrow. Stay tuned.

One of our CMF parents, David Moehlman, has put together a fundraising golf tournament to benefit Changing Minds Foundation. We are currently registering teams of 4 for $500. The event will include lunch and dinner, awards & prizes, as well as a silent auction. We need everyone's help to make this event a success.
So many of you may be thinking....

I don't play golf.

I don't live in Houston.

How could I get involved?

Well, I have the answer for you and it's very simple. Enter our Golf Ball Drop Event and purchase as many golf balls as you'd like for $25 each. We'll assign you a number to each golf ball purchased and on the day of the tournament all balls will be dropped from a helicopter hovering over the driving range. The first ball to land in the designated hole (or closest to the pin) wins a trip for two to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The Ball Drop is limited to 2,000 balls and the deadline to enter is October 25th, 2010. You do NOT have to be present to win. We're a 501c 3 charitable organization so your donation is tax deductible.


To purchase golf balls for entrance into the CMF Ball Drop, to register to play golf or to view a short video of an actual Golf Ball Drop, go to:

You can make your purchase through Paypal. If you do not have a Paypal account, you can still use Paypal and pay with any major credit card. If you prefer to mail a check, go to the above web link to get the form and address for Changing Minds Foundation.

Lastly, for those of you wondering where your money will be going, it's very simple: Research. For example, the Down Syndrome Research Facility at Stanford University is making extensive progress in the laboratory to improve the learning and memory in the DS mouse. They are on the cusp of a major breakthrough. Check out the link to an article below from Scientific American for more information on their findings.
