SHERMAN, Texas (KXII) – Ashten\u2019s Compassion held its fourth annual fundraising golf tournament at Stone Creek Golf Course Saturday morning, raising money to take 150 children in need Christmas shopping later this year.<\/p>\n
J. Davis, founder of Ashten\u2019s Compassion, said the tournament is the organization\u2019s primary fundraising event of the year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is how we raise the money for the Shop with a Cop. Throughout the year, we do small fundraisers, but this is our major event,\u201d Davis said. \u201cWithout the sponsors and players, we wouldn\u2019t be able to take kids Christmas shopping during December.\u201d<\/p>\n
The mission behind the tournament<\/p>\n
Davis started Ashten\u2019s Compassion in honor of his late daughter, Ashten, to carry on her legacy of serving others. The nonprofit raises money throughout the year in partnership with local law enforcement, then takes children in need holiday shopping one to two weeks before Christmas.<\/p>\n
Davis said every element of the tournament represents a child in need.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery player out here is a representative of a kid, every time you drive by and you see a sponsor sign, that\u2019s a kid also,\u201d Davis said. \u201cWe cannot do it without the community support, and we want to thank everyone for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Davis said the turnout at the tournament, combined with the children\u2019s reactions at Christmas, makes the work meaningful.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means everything to us because at the end, Ashten wouldn\u2019t want it any other way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
