Travelers Championship Birdies for Charity
We are excited to announce our 2012 partnership with the Travelers Championship Birdies for Charity program, a unique fundraising program our donors can get excited about! Birdies for Charity is a pledge-based program based on the number of birdies made by the PGA TOUR professionals during tournament week. For example, for a $.01 pledge and 1,800 birdies made, then that individual will be asked to make a donation of $18.00 to Immaculate Conception Shelter & Housing Corporation. The Travelers Championship will donate 100% of the proceeds to our organization. In our continued effort to provide housing and decent shelter to those with no other options, we hope you will join us as we raise funds through the Birdies for Charity program. Help us reach our goal of raise $10,000! The organization who raises the most money has a chance to win an additional $5,000! To make a pledge, simply Thank you for your continued support!

Sketch of Immaculate’s New Shelter
In a perfect world, when Immaculate opened the doors of Casa de Francisco to 25 homeless individuals, that would have left 25 beds open in the Shelter. However, the sad reality is that those beds were filled within days. It is a reminder that the issue of homelessness in Greater Hartford is ever present. In the near future, you will be hearing of our $3 Million Capital Campaign and plans to build a new shelter to replace the former church. As part of the arrangement to build Casa de Francisco, The City of Hartford is requiring that the Shelter move from its current Park Street location. This is being done with a heavy heart, however, years of “getting by” in an old and tired building are also quickly catching up with us. Moving or drastic renovations are forever imminent. Your help has been, and we hope will continue, to be an important part in making this happen. More details to come.
