Dream Finders Homes Champions for Child Safety Pro Am Golf
Tournament raises $533,000 for the Monique Burr Foundation
Funds support programs to keep children safe from bullying, cyberbullying, and abuse
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Dec. 17, 2025) – The Monique Burr Foundation for Children (MBF) announces its 2025 Dream Finders Homes Champions for Child Safety Pro Am Golf Tournament, presented by AT&T, Jax Utilities Management, Lennar, and MJC Land Development, raised $533,000 to support the development and delivery of MBF Prevention Education Programs. Since 1994, the tournament has raised more than $6.7 million for MBF.
“It is one of the greatest honors to witness the roots of Monique’s legacy bloom into the powerful force it is today,” said Edward Burr, MBF Founder and Board Chairman. “What began as a vision grounded in compassion has grown into a lifeline—one that has served, empowered, and protected countless children. Every young life touched is a reminder of Monique’s enduring impact and the extraordinary community that continues to carry her mission forward.”
The annual tournament offered corporate teams and individuals the opportunity to golf with professional golfers at The Palencia Club in St. Augustine. Funds raised from the tournament benefit MBF Prevention Education programs, which are designed to educate and empower youth, equipping them with strategies to prevent, recognize, and respond appropriately to challenges such as bullying, online exploitation, child abuse, trafficking, and other types of victimization.
“MBF has achieved yet another year of transformational impact, reaching 18.5 million youth this year. said Tanya Ramos-Puig, MBF Chief Executive Officer. “Children and teens served through our prevention education programs are now educated and empowered to recognize and report child abuse, bullying, online dangers, exploitation, and trafficking. This is a remarkable milestone, and it’s a testament to the dedication and passion of every individual who supported and sponsored this event. Together we will continue to prioritize the safety of our most vulnerable citizens—children!"
MBF has increased the number of children served by over 2 million since last year. Thanks to partners, supporters, and advocates, MBF has reached more than 18 million youth and trained nearly 10,000 facilitators, reaching 42 states and territories including Puerto Rico and six countries.
