Fundraising
Despite the economic challenges faced by Americans in recent years, WCF donors have continued to help the Fund remain financially stable. Although many non-profits face the prospect of cutting services due to financial shortfalls, our donor network of private individuals, San Francisco city employees and others have generously supported the children served by WCF.
Fundraising for the Workers' Children's Fund is accomplished through various methods. The Fund has 501(c)(3) non-profit status, and receives numerous donations from private individuals on an ongoing basis. In addition, several annual fundraising events have become a familiar part of the landscape in San Francisco's social services network. These include:
The 21st Annual WCF Softball Tournament fundraiser
; This year the WCF is partnering with the San Francisco Recreation & Park Department Scholarship Fund in a joint effort to expand our outreach and service to San Francisco youth. All proceeds from
the tournament will benefit San Francisco children in scholarships for either educational, extracurricular, school or community programs. The 2010 tournament is the 21st annual, and continues to pit employees of
many departments throughout the City & County of San Francisco and community groups against each other for a weekend of fun and competition, all in a spirit of giving. The tournament serves the dual purpose of directly
raising funds and publicity for the WCF, and now the Recreation & Park Scholarship Fund, as well as providing a positive, familiar tradition. The tournament raises approximately $10
,000 annually, and our goal this year is to double that number with the combined effort and involvement of Recreation & Park. The 21st annual tournament will be held the weekend of August 7, 2010. Stay tuned for more info on the 2010
tournament! For more information, email us at workerschildrensfund@gmail.com

Registration Deadline is July 1, 2010
The annual San Francisco City Employees Combined Charities drive, in which City & County employees contribute through payroll deductions and one-time contributions.
An annual Wine-Tasting event that takes place in the Fall, and gives WCF supporters an opportunity to sample local vintages, socialize with like-minded philanthropists, while supporting San Francisco's foster youth.
Such benefits are an important piece of WCF's fundraising, and allow social workers and other supporters to give to the children, while enjoying time with each
other.
