2013 Events Colonial Tee Off Concert
The Showdown at Hell's Half Acre  Benefiting The Henry House A great Texas Hold'em Tournament to raise funds for The Henry House and our friends at The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation What a wonderful day we had at the first annual Showdown on Saturday April 20! Thanks to our major sponsors and so many willing participants, the tournament was a hit. Fort Worth, TX Magazine broadcast the event in the months leading up, lending a fantastic turnout of support. Guests were welcomed to Firestone & Robertson Distillery on a beautiful Saturday morning to a Bloody Mary Brunch hosted by our great friend Chef Jon Bonnell. With a coffee bar by Avoca Coffee, opportunities to get your boots shined or watch sporting events on the big screen with GoVision, there was quite a buzz circulating! All 110 players took their seats at 11 a.m. sharp and were welcomed by co-hosts JJ Henry and Lance Federick (CFF Board Member), who then introduced Mayor Betsy Price who officially kicked off the tournament with "cards in the air!" All day the player field grew smaller but the excitement only increased. A dozen auction items stood by for participants, as well as raffles, a Royal Flush competition to win a new Mercedes CLS provided by Park Place Mercedes, a dessert vault with poker themed treats donated by Red Jett Sweets. Players and friends heard great acoustic entertainment but the highlight of the day was hearing from our dear friend Paige from the CFF Board who is a CF patient and truly put the purpose of the day in perspective. Great events are fun, but we were aiming for FUNDS raised! As spouses and non-playing arrived later in the day for a Waters Coastal Cuisine dinner by Chef Bonnell, the final tables drew crowds! Congratulations to our winner Robert Higgins and all of the top-20 finishers. We are excited to announce that in addition to the fun that was had by all, the Henry House raised over $40,000 for the two Foundations!
The Henry House is able to continue our mission of raising funds and awareness for deserving community-based groups like CFF because of the generosity of so many people. We are so very grateful. We have the following people the thank for making this possible: Major Sponsors:

Drives for a Smile Join The Henry House in cheering on JJ Henry for the month of February as he "Drives for a Smile" on the course! For every birdie JJ makes on Tour in February, The Henry House will donate one dozen youth toothbrushes to Cook Children's Hospital who will distribute to underserved families in our community. Friends of JJ/The Henry House who want to assist our efforts can drop off at The Henry House office during the month of February or contact the office to arrange a pick up (wrapped, soft, children's toothbrushes only); learn more about what the Children's Oral Health Coalition is accomplishing! Did you know? There are children in Tarrant County who are missing school because of dental pain. In Tarrant County, more than 73,000 parents say their child did not visit a dentist in the previous 12 months. 13.6% or more than 42,500 parents say their child did not receive all the dental care needed. When a child is suffering from oral health disease, it not only affects their overall health but their ability to speak, learn, eat or participate in other activities. Local school nurses have reported that many children in our community do not have the basic tool – a toothbrush, to help them in their battle against tooth decay. So follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook to follow our February birdie counter and #driveforasmile!

JJ and Henry House 'Tee it Up' for second year in Connecticut to benefit Henry's hometown kids The Henry House Foundation and The First Tee of Metropolitan New York "teed it up" for the 2nd Annual J.J. Henry Invitational at the beautiful Patterson Club in Fairfield, CT on Monday, June 27. Through the J.J. Henry Invitational, the Henry House will support the future construction of a new learning center at The First Tee Facility at Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course in Bridgeport, CT. The event was especially significant as The Patterson Club is where JJ grew up and learned the game of golf, just miles from his childhood home. The day opened with a clinic taught by Henry for 60 kids from The First Tee at Fairchild Wheeler. Donned in Henry House shirts and Greg Norman hats, Henry showed the kids that it is possible to achieve your dream, since he is living his dream of being a PGA TOUR pro every day. He also awed the kids with drives that went well into the woods at the end of the range and gave them important tips on how to improve their golf game. Each youngster was able to get additional tips from Henry and the Pros when they hit their own balls on the range and practiced putting on the 18th green. Events continued with an 18-hole shamble, ceremoniously started with J.J. Henry's opening tee shot followed by a bagpiper down the fairway. Each group was paired with a participant from The First Tee of Metropolitan New York, who served as the honorary team captain for their group - many of whom were scratch golfers and led their teams in scoring! Following golf was an exceptional evening hosted by ESPN Sports Personality, Chris "Boomer" Berman, Henry's playing partner in the ProAm at Pebble Beach. After stories for Henry and Berman of the US Open, playing Pebble together and other memories, JJ spoke of the Henry House Foundation and the great, tangible things we are able to do children in the community. A check for $100,000 from The Henry House, representing last year's success, was handed over to the chapter, then First Tee participant Mercedes McKelvie of Bridgeport, CT took the stage to discuss the importance of The First Tee in her life. A live auction with premier items including trips to Kiawah Island and Bermuda rounded out this great day. Many thanks to all those that attended the event in support of The First Tee of Metropolitan New York. The Henry House would also like to thank the staff at The Patterson Club for organizing a great day, with special thanks go to the major sponsors for their support of this event: Turner Construction, Symetra Financial, IBM, Palsa + Palsa, and Terex. Additional thanks go to our friends at The First Tee of Metropolitan New York for their tireless partnership efforts in hosting the day, as well as committee members Jim Palsa and Greg Fell, and Vicki Yurkerwich and the team of wonderful volunteers, without whom this event would not be possible. We look forward to another successful event in 2012!
Great Week at Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial The Henry House Hideaway hosted its fourth year at Colonial with a great skybox on the 10th fairway overlooking the 18 green.

The Hideaway boasted two Wii stations, arts & crafts, fun T-Shirts, free kid's lunch sponsored by Chicken Express and a great view of the exciting golf tournament!

Henry House Foundation Gives Away Biggest Check to Date! Together with the Jewel Charity, JJ Henry was able to hand over a $300,000 check to Cook Children's Hospital on Tuesday May 17. When Jewel Charity offered to bring The Henry House on board for 2011 through their Charity Classic golf tournament, both groups soon realized we had a homerun partnership to maximize funds for the kids.” JJ Henry proudly committed the $300,000 to execute a Henry House Teen Room designed by long-term patients. The lounge area in the new wing will be exactly what the patients want, and most importantly what they need. The Henry House is pleased to bring a smile to these kids’ faces, to give them a sense of peace and normality during their stay. And we are excited that this check is just the beginning. The Foundation will continue to support this wonderful Children's Hospital as we pledge to raise more funds and awareness for this project and the entire new Kids’ Zone for Cook Children’s.
