  • 20th Annual Golf Tournament

    20th Annual Golf Tournament

    Our 20th annual Fairways Fore Foster Kids Golf Tournament was a great success this year with 87 golfers playing in beautiful, yet slightly windy 78 degree weather. We celebrated the life of our friend Randy “Bud” Metcalf who passed away July 4, 2024 with a moment of silence. He was a devoted golfer who played in our tournaments and always supported our kids. Tom Clarke, Bob Allendorf, Danny Perez and Chad Nascimento won First Place Gross while Ernie Yoshino, Jose Rodriguez, Evan Yoshino, and Ethan Yoshino won First Place Net. Congratulations gentlemen and thank you for supporting Agape Villages.

  • 2023 Agape Picnic for Foster Families

    On Saturday, June 3, Agape foster families, children and youth came together for our annual picnic. It was a time of fun, laughter and food. A live petting zoo. A train. Face painting. Balloons. A photo booth. Games. And of course lots of food. Everyone had so much fun. It was wonderful to see the children enjoying themselves, just having fun, running around, being kids, free of worry. Parents talking with each other. Thanks to people like you, the kids knew they were safe, loved, and secure.

  • Tri-Valley Jail ’n Bail 2021

    Tri-Valley Jail ’n Bail 2021

    What a great event raising money for the foster kids of Agape Villages! Our annual Jail ‘n Bail event on October 21st did not disappoint and we raised almost $14,000! We are truly so thankful for everyone who donated and supported the event. We all enjoyed food, drinks, and great company as donors and friends dressed up in jail costumes and went to jail to raise funds for the kids. They posted their pictures on social media, called family & friends and asked for bail money. Our judges were harsh and threw the book at many of our jailbirds.  

    A huge thank you to Todd Utical, owner of SideTrack Bar + Grill, for once again donating his patio space. And to Kathy Narum and Randy Brown for donating their time as judges. 

  • Tri-Valley Jail n Bail 2020

    Tri-Valley Jail n Bail 2020

    What a great event raising money for the foster kids of Agape Villages! Our annual Jail ‘N Bail event did not disappoint and we raised the most money we have ever raised at any previous Jail ‘N Bail events. Abiding by all Alameda county COVID guidelines, everyone wore face masks and respected the 6 feet social distancing rule. We are truly so thankful for everyone who donated and supported the event. We all enjoyed food, drinks, and great company as  donors and friends dressed up in jail costumes and went to jail to raise funds for the kids. They posted their pictures on social media, called family & friends and asked for bail money. Our judges were harsh and threw the book at many of our jailbirds, especially Jennifer and Daryn Oxe who had their bail set at a record $2000 – and they exceeded that amount by a big margin.  

    A huge thank you to Todd Utical, owner of SideTrack Bar + Grill, for once again donating his patio space. And to Kathy Narum and Randy Brown for donating their time as judges.

  • 7th Annual Roseville Dinner & Silent Auction

    7th Annual Roseville Dinner & Silent Auction

    We had a packed house for our 7th Annual Dinner, with Live and Silent Auctions, in Roseville. The theme was “Be a Hero, Save a Child” and wow did we have some heroes! Because of the kindness of all who attended and our sponsors, like Goldrush Getaways who was our event sponsor, we raised over $21,000 to help kids in foster care through the programs we offer here at Agape Villages.

    The auction prizes, which included two 4-day cruises to Mexico, the music and speakers made for a fun evening as we focused on the need of the over 90 kids that currently have homes with resource families (formerly foster families) through Agape Villages.

    Thank you so much for those who provided for and attended this event. We can’t do it without you!

    We continue to look for resource families, volunteers and donors, so we can help even more of the ~50,000 kids in foster care in California. Please reach out if you can help.

  • Spring in the Valley Annual Dinner in Manteca

    Spring in the Valley Annual Dinner in Manteca

    We are so fortunate for the people who help Agape serve children in foster care. We periodically put on fundraising events like the Spring in the Valley Annual Dinner in Manteca on March 30. This was only the second Spring in the Valley event we’ve put on and it was an amazing success all around.

    We raised over $15,000 to benefit the children that we provide homes for through the resource parents (formerly foster parents) trained and certified by Agape. We are so thankful for all those who filled the room full to listen to our speakers, enjoy an amazing steak & chicken dinner, raffle prizes, and auctions. How often do you get go to an event like this and choose from all these delicious desserts?

    Thanks to those who volunteer to put on events like this, those who donate to Agape and our sponsors, like A. Teeples Plumbing, we’re able to make a difference in the lives of so many children.

    If you weren’t able to attend this wonderful event, consider coming to one of our other events. We have them all over the Bay Area, Central Valley, and Greater Sacramento Area. We can’t wait to see you!
