5th Annual Golf Tournament Lo de Marcos Benefit
The Lo de Marcos children’s non-profit center La Casa de Los Ninos is having their 5th annual Golf Tournament fundraiser
this weekend. A tragic accident struck this family and they turned it all around and created La Casa de Los Ninos to help support the children of Lo de Marcos. Click on the photos for more great pics, and the links for more information.
Lo de Marcos is located on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico. Please support this event, and the children of Lo de Marcos. Click here to find out more about their story.
Here is a note from Dave and Patti.
Dear Friends of La Casa …….
This Friday and Saturday, February 22, 23rd, is the 5th annual Golf Tournament and Bingo Extravaganza to benefit La Casa de los Niños in Lo de Marcos. The event will be held at Campo de Ensueños in El Monteon. We are hoping it is another great success and look forward to seeing many of our
local supporters there for fun and funds !!!!! We will have entertainment each day and this year we are featuring some of the talents of our own “La Casa Kids.”
Raffle Prizes and Chinese Auction
We have many wonderful Raffle prizes this year and will be setting it up in the tradition of the CHINESE AUCTION. This means you will be able to put your raffle tickets toward the items that you would like to win. In a Chinese auction, “bidders” buy tickets, which are chances to win items. The tickets are sold as we would for a regular raffle and “Bidders” buy as many tickets as they like, and bid them on any item(s) they want by placing one or more ticket in the “hat” beside the item(s) they are trying to win. At the conclusion of bidding, one winning ticket is drawn from the “hat” beside each item, and the item is given to the owner of that ticket.
We have many wonderful breakfasts, lunches and dinners prizes, massage, pedicures etc. Please take a look at a sample of our prize list attached. We will also have both a silent and a live auction. Please take a look at the attached list of raffle and auction items to get a preview of some of what we have to offer.

La Casa de los Niños is a safe and fun place for the Kids of Lo de Marcos to spend time. It is also an environment that invites authentic interaction between people of different backgrounds and cultures. La Casa de los Niños was conceived between Patti & Dave Martinez and Dolce & Jim Heinrich in October 2005. “We had lost our family Lauren, Kailee, Cameron and Matthew, in January, and wanted to use the memorial fund established in their honor to do something for the kids in Lo de Marcos. Dulce had been tutoring kids in her home and thought that a place for kids to go after school to get help with homework and perhaps do art projects would be a good thing. We decided then and there that we would find a small place in town and call it La Casa de los Niños!”
