“We look forward to welcoming everyone to our Inaugural Benefit Bash for a wonderful evening of food, music, fun and dancing,” Foundation Founder and Chairwoman, Myra J. Cole-Baucom, said. “By the grace of God, and with our donor’s generous financial support for our causes, the doors of our Foundation will never close.”

As the first nonprofit in Tarpons Springs to develop self-help job training programs for the Pueblo Indians in Taos, New Mexico, Cole Link Foundation is working hard to raise needed funds for its House to Home and Apprenticeship programs. Aimed at home repair and renovation for low income residents, the program also trains unskilled workers in home repair to help move people from unemployment to work. The program will launch at the Pueblo Indian reservation in Taos, New Mexico with plans for expansion into other communities.

To honor the brave men and women in our nation’s emergency services, the Foundation will host its highly anticipated 911 Hero Salute Charity Golf Tournament in Tracy, CA on Sept. 11, 2017 with plans to expand the tournament to other states each year. A portion of the proceeds will go toward local firefighter charity programs. In addition, the nonprofit strives to saves lives with their national Car Seats for Kids program and has plans to host its first Jazzy Sassy Expo for local senior citizen entertainment and education. Already launched, The Golden Linkettes dance troupe, the Foundation’s local youth outreach program, will also perform at the Benefit Bash.
