First Annual Loughlin Charity Golf Open To Benefit International Children’s Care

August 25, 2008

(Huntington, N.Y.) – A new fundraiser for orphaned children will take place on September 8, 2008, at the Indian Hills Country Club in Northport, New York, with the tee off of the first annual Jim & Yvette Loughlin Charity Golf Open. Proceeds will benefit International Children’s Care, an international non-profit organization which has been helping orphaned children for more than 30 years.

“The mission of the Jim & Yvette Loughlin Charity Golf Open is to raise money for the benefit of non-profit organizations that do outstanding work improving the quality of life, education and health of underprivileged people throughout the world,” said James J. Loughlin, Jr., founding principal of Loughlin Meghji + Co and co-chairman of the event with his wife, Yvette. “This year’s event will benefit International Children’s Care, a tremendous organization that benefits orphaned children throughout the world.”

“We have seen ICC’s efforts firsthand on a recent trip to Guatemala to visit the boy we sponsor,” said Yvette Loughlin. “ICC’s commitment and dedication to these unfortunate children was impressive and nothing short of life-changing. The children were also impressive. They couldn’t be more thankful for what they receive or more loving toward their surrogate parents, donors and each other. However, the needs of the organization are tremendous and we were moved to try to make a difference in the lives of children who have so little and need our help.”

Jim and Yvette Loughlin are proud to announce some of the companies who have sponsored the event: Loughlin, Meghji + Co; Chilmark Partners, L.L.C.; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP; Conway, Del Genio, Gries & Co. LLC; Miller Buckfire; Silver Point Capital; FTI Consulting; Alvarez & Marsal; and The Hilco Organization. Sponsorships are still available, as are tee times for golfers who want to participate in the fundraising effort.

About International Children’s Care
International Children’s Care (ICC) is a private relief and development organization. ICC was established in 1976 for the specific purpose of giving high quality care for needy children. As an internationally recognized Non-Governmental Organization, ICC fulfills this primary directive of its charter without regard to the children’s ethnic, political, or religious association.

ICC works on behalf of orphaned, abandoned and needy children. Each child’s unique circumstances determine how ICC applies this philosophy. If it is not possible for the child to live with its birth parents, ICC places the child in a loving, natural family unit. This may be a home on an ICC facility or an adoptive home.

ICC will provide this assistance as circumstances permit in any developing country where there is a need and an opportunity to serve. ICC will go where its resources can be employed most effectively. International Children’s Care is a 501(c)(3) organization. All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For more information, please visit www.forhiskids.org.
