And by helping youth to develop the skills they need to succeed in adulthood, transitional living programs open up the possibility of a brighter future.

We wanted to quote John Blanchette's article from the Spokesman-Review about David: "Necessary to illustrate that for all the many sides to the man, there was always another to be found, and that however far he would go with his passions – his family and friends, his work as a pastor, coaching girls track and finally as a golf professional, most recently at Circling Raven Golf Club – he could always find it in himself to go beyond, especially in the furtherance of everyday needling... He made people believe in themselves". We want to invite you to learn more about the forever icon, David VonBrethorst, from both the Circling Raven Golf Club and the Believe in Me Golf Tournament.
