Charities

We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to each and every one of our conference attendees for embodying the IFG charitable mission by supporting our charitable endeavors. Your participation is a testament to the power of community and helps us make a meaningful impact in the lives of those in need. This year, we are proud to be working with four incredible organizations: the Challenged Athletes Foundation, Mitchell Thorp Foundation, Just in Time for Foster Youth, and Promises2Kids, each of which provides vital support to deserving individuals. Your involvement helps bring us closer to our goal of creating positive change and we are honored to have you as part of the IFG community.

It is the mission of the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) to provide opportunities and support to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics. The Challenged Athletes Foundation believes that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence, and enhances quality of life.

Mitchell Thorp Foundation's mission is to support families whose children suffer from life-threatening illnesses, diseases, and disorders by providing financial, ​emotional, and resource support to their desperate situations.

Just in Time for Foster Youth envisions a future in which every youth leaving the foster care system has access to a Community of lived experienced peers and caring adults after 18. We believe consistent, long-term help from the heart is the foundation for the success of our youth so they can thrive and enjoy productive, satisfying lives.

Promises2Kids is a leading nonprofit organization originally founded 40 years ago as the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation of San Diego County. Since 1981, Promises2Kids has responded to the needs of foster children and provided support to children removed from their home due to abuse and neglect.

This year we, together with our partners, are running another silent auction in support of these charities. With your help we look forward to surpassing last years donation totals.
