Henry House Video 2011 Founded by PGA golfer J.J. Henry, Henry House Foundation is a non-profit organization with a mission to generate public awareness and to support community-based programs that focus on the healthcare and well-being of children in the community. The foundation makes donations to fund specific, tangible projects initiated by children’s medical and support services and organizations in Fort Worth and Southern New England. "I’ve been fortunate to have experienced great success in my career,” said J.J. Henry. “Now, through Henry House, my family and I are able to give back to the communities we call home." "I’m excited to be representing the U.S. as a Ryder Cup team player,” Henry said. “Plus, I’m honored that the Henry House Foundation and TCU will each receive $100,000 from the PGA in recognition of my participation."

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!

A White Hot Sixth Year Success  The Henry House Foundation is proud and humbled to announce the success of our sixth annual White Hot Night Gala that took place at JJ's home club, Mira Vista Country Club, on Sunday September 16. We once again partnered with the wonderful Ben Hogan Foundation who co-hosted the evening as well as the Ben Hogan Invitational on the following Monday. Raising over $200,000, we look forward to joining our partner at the Hogan Foundation to fund tangible, meaningful projects to beneift the healthcare and well-being of youth in our community. With special thanks to our presenting sponsor, Justin Golf, we were able to host a generous room of Fort Worth's finest for dinner, dancing and entertainment. The spectacular Dan Dunn Paint Jam wowed audiences with his speed painting performances. To celebrate the 100th birthdays of two of golf's greatest, we saw Dan bring to life a one-of-a-kind dual portrait of Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson in front of our eyes! The unforgettable Neal McCoy put on the best show we've seen with high energy and had the crowd dancing until we turned on the lights - we thank Neal for being such a fun part of this fantastic night. Most importantly, with the help of co-host John Denton of TCU, JJ was able to proudly and with gratefulness speak with the crowd of the growth and platform the Henry House has grown to in the last six years. Excitedly recapping our year with Cook Children's, the LemonAID Kids for a Cause, the Henry House Hideaway and more, what a wonderful evening it was to raise money and awareness for local youth projects.

Purple Out for a Cause At The Colonial  Colonial Kids for a Cause Teaming up with JJ Henry & The Henry House Foundation The "LemonAid" stand was originally a Marlow family endeavor that started 10 years ago. With a home close to the course, their children starting selling lemonade to tournament-goers during the hot Texas days. As their children got older, they graciously invited friends to join them, and of course, shared the proceeds. Three years ago, the children, with their parent's encouragement, decided to donate their proceeds to charity, thus the name "LemonAid" was born! Eight neighborhood families are now involved in this initiative that teaches kids that no matter how young, you can always give back. The stand caught the eye of PGA Tour Players in town to play the tournament, when JJ Henry started stopping by for a cold glass and staying for hours after a round. This kick started an idea to incorporate this favorite local pro that was presented as the families gather the children to discuss what charitable initiative the "LemonAid" stand will fund each year. The kids voted to support JJ Henry in his platform at Cook Children's Hospital! "JJ is an excellent role model for the children. He is kind, gracious, humble and giving of his time. He has a true love for Fort Worth and TCU. We truly adore him," said Michelle Marlow. Choosing to raise funds for JJ's Henry House Foundation was the perfect outlet to do all of these things. This year the kids dreamed up the inaugural "Purple out for JJ" on Friday of the Crowne Plaza Invitational. The "Colonial Kids" will be selling t-shirts for all of JJ's fans to wear that day, with the proceeds going to support Henry House and will be selling purple "LemonAid" and cookies. We would love for people who attend the tournament, live in the neighborhood or just want to support young charitable 'entrepreneurs' to purchase a t-shirt and stop by on Friday for some treats! Please find the kid-created t-shirt order form attached and we look forward to seeing everyone in his or her purple on Friday May 25! The Hangout Room, a personal dream and concept seen through by JJ himself, will be where The First Tee kids can go to just be kids, and take ownership over this beautiful new building and of course the program. Complete with three televisions, Xbox Kinnect stations, a homework and game bench and nook, Golden Tee arcade games and fun seating, the Henry House Hangout is a proud moment for the Foundation to give back, tangibly, the these wonderful youth of Fort Worth. The weekend ceremonies included visits and speeches by JJ Henry, LPGA Tour player Angela Stanford, numerous First Tee Fort Worth participants, and The First Tee's national president Joe Louis Barrow. It was a memorable weekend and a ribbon cutting ceremony that will forever be a banner moment for The Henry House Foundation. Thanks to our wonderful supporters for allowing us to continue this important and very special work in the community.
Launching the Ben Hogan Learning Center What a way to end 2011! Along with the Ben Hogan Foundation, we were thrilled to open the Ben Hogan Learning Center for The First Tee of Fort Worth.

This Center, unlike any in the country, will be home to thousands of First Tee participants for years to come. We encourage all Henry House friends to visit the center at Rockwood Golf Course, complete with two classrooms, an indoor club repair room and swinging bay, Fort Worth golf museum, board room and library, office spaces and of course our favorite - The Henry House Hangout!

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.

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.
