Vantage Point Title was proud to be the title sponsor of the Eckerd Youth Alternatives 3^rd annual “Be Their Champion” charity golf tournament that took place on April 6^th at the East Lake Woodlands Country Club. VPT has been the title sponsor for all 3 years of the tournament that has raised over $90,000 for the foster kids of Pinellas and Pasco Counties. We had a fantastic time competing in the golf tournament with 130 players on a beautiful day.  After the tournament, there was an awards dinner, drawings, and a silent auction. This program supports the daily well being of foster kids and ensures healthy and productive lives for each child. This charity is near and dear to our team at Vantage Point and we fully support it with enthusiasm and great purpose. We are looking forward to bigger and better things in 2014.
