Our annual Tee Off for Education golf tournament was held on November 15 at the beautiful Rossmoor Golf Course in Walnut Creek, CA. After a full day of golf under cloudy but dry skies, players were treated to dinner and an awards ceremony. Thank you to our generous sponsors and golfers! No matter their scores at the end of 18 holes, through their participation, our golfers made a profound difference in the lives of children we serve—and that makes them winners on anybody’s scorecard! Throughout the event, we captured fantastic images, which you’ll find on our website and Facebook page.

We are pleased to announce that Seena Farhadi (Walnut Creek, CA) is the recipient of a 2021 Yours Humanly Children Have the Power to Empower® Award.

In the summer of 2021, six Northern California high school students formed a nonprofit, iTutor Academy, whose mission is to advocate for and provide quality education that is accessible to all at an affordable price. It was inspiring to see the team run the online summer camp for children grades 3-5, teaching all the classes in math, English, and science; and facilitating all the art, debate, and public speaking clubs.

The girls did amazing work, helping campers learn new skills to get a head start on the upcoming school curriculum. 

iTutor was a success out the gate and the team raised $2,000 in the first session, which was donated in its entirety to Yours Humanly. Being faithful to their mission, the girls said they chose to donate to Yours Humanly because its mission aligns with their passion for providing children with opportunities for quality education.

Yours Humanly is grateful to these creative, innovative, and compassionate young people, and we wish them and iTutor all success for summer camps to come!

The 2021 Yours Humanly Break a Sweat for Education® 5K Run & Walk and free Kids Fun Run will be held in-person on Saturday, October 2, at Walnut Creek’s Heather Farm Park. Funds raised by this popular family-friendly event support local and global programs of Yours Humanly, a Northern California-based nonprofit that transforms the lives of children in need around the world by providing access to quality education and equitable resources.
