For The Children Wins $10,000 Grant From Great Charity Challenge

For the Children has received a $10,000 grant from the Great Charity Challenge (GCC) presented by Fidelity Investments^®.

GCC is a charity equestrian event founded by Mark Bellissimo and his daughter Paige in 2010 as a way for the equestrian community to give back to Palm Beach County.

Through the years, GCC has distributed more than $10.8 million to 220 Palm Beach County charities.

This year, For the Children won a grant through a special drawing.

In addition to the special drawing, more grants will be given away during the event on Feb. 2 at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington. At that time, equestrians will compete on behalf of 34 randomly drawn charities, while representing their favorite nation or country of origin. At stake: $1.5 million in additional grants.

“We are so grateful for this funding,” said Reginale Durandisse, CEO and founder of For The Children. “This will allow us to serve even more children, through our programs, so they are better prepared for the future.”
