Colden Charities Inc., a registered 501c3 organization, has been active in our community as well as helping others around the world. Some of the projects we have been involved in are:

  • Post tsunami rebuilding in Galle, Sri Lanka
  • Post Katrina cleanup and supply distribution in Ocean Springs, MS
  • Partial funding and building an orphanage for underprivileged children in Oropesa, Peru
  • Support for Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington DC
  • Volunteer at local soup kitchens in Saint Augustine FL
  • Support for the Wounded Warrior Project
  • Post Hurricane Matthew, Irma, Maria relief

Currently we are active in supporting an organization called Playnet Inc. operating in the Philippines. Playnet, Inc. helps provide access to education for children who do not have access to the public education system. Playnet helps poor children of all faiths attend schools that are established with the assistance of local parents and community members. Our focus has been educating these children and helping them transition into the public school system with the skills they need to be successful. The schools are not the type of school that we send our children to in the United States. School houses are often one room buildings, books are limited and textbooks are non-existent. Electricity is not even standard in these areas. The children that attend these schools are grateful for the opportunity to learn and are an inspiring group. We are proud to partner with Playnet Inc. to give these kids an opportunity to learn.

Our 2025 fundraiser runs from August 10 through the 24th. As we mentioned last year funding has been difficult, as other sponsors have dropped off causing us to consolidate schools. We are still striving to help as many students as possible get an education and ultimately get absorbed into the public school system through high school and beyond to break the cycle of poverty in their families. This year we are hoping to provide some basic food for the kids while at school to help with their nutrition. Your assistance is greatly appreciated not just from those of us at Colden Charities but by the children being educated by Playnet as well. Please know your donations are making a difference!
