October was an extremely busy month for the Catch 81 Foundation! We had the Strikes for Kids bowling fundraiser on October 10 and the Signature Grand Ghoul on October 25. We had an amazing turnout at both events, which would not have been possible without our guests, supporters and sponsors.

On October 10, 2010 bowlers grabbed their bowling shoes and their bowling balls to support the efforts of the O.J. McDuffie Catch 81 Foundation. The first place winner was E.F. Tire and Auto with Bill Martinez, Sam Logiurato, Dave Peters and Eddie Deatley on the team. Eddie Deatley also took the prize for high game winner! Overall the event grossed more than $27,000, which will be used for a variety of community efforts. In addition to using the money to fund our holiday donations to Jack and Jill Children’s Center and the SOS Children’s Villages, some of the money will also be used to fund the charter school that is in the works.

Now that fall is here, it’s not too early to start thinking about Halloween. At the Signature Grand Ghoul in 2009, we had some pretty wild costumes and a pretty wild time at the Halloween event. There was dancing, drinking, mingling with celebrities and tons of great prizes and contests. Zach Thomas, Michael Irvin, Sam Madison, Sean Hill, Jason Taylor, Shawn Wooden and many more have been past Signature Grand Ghoul guests from the NFL.

This year, O.J. McDuffie and Ricky Williams will co-host that annual event that benefits the O.J. McDuffie Catch 81 Foundation, the Ricky Williams Foundation and Jack & Jill Children’s Center. In 2009, the turnout was phenomenal and this year we are expecting over 1,000 guests!

When you arrive at the 100,000 square foot mansion, you will be transported into the ultimate Halloween destination.  You can arrive hungry and thirsty because there will be gourmet food and an open bar for your enjoyment. You can your groove on while the DJ plays your favorite hits.

In addition to having the time of your life, you can feel good knowing that you are supporting three fantastic charities who serve the underprivileged children of South Florida. The O.J. McDuffie Catch 81 Foundation’s mission is to support and create programs to enhance the quality of life for the children of South Florida and to empower them to pursue the best in themselves. The Ricky Williams Foundation provides tutorial services, public speaking programs and sports camps that promote health and fitness. The Jack & Jill Children’s center was established in 1942 and its mission is to break the cycle of poverty for children of low-income working families in Broward County through the provision of family-oriented child care services and family intervention and support.

Now that we have you convinced you that this is the place to be for the best Halloween party in South Florida, it is time to purchase your tickets. Log onto www.grandghoul.org or call (954) 424-4000.
