g r o . e s u a C Carts4A l o o h c S h g i H s a l g u o D n a m e n o Marjory St Ethan Behm and Dylan Parcheta are cousins but most of all, best friends. They are typical teen- age boys who enjoy spending their spare time with friends, listening to music, playing video games and being outdoors. it ation vi m r o f n i e the tragic events that unfolded at Marjo- r Mor After ry Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida, where the boys are residents, they were determined to help the victims and families of this horrible event. With the support from their families, they start- ed the non-profit charity, Carts 4 a Cause. The boys reached out to Jeffrey Allen Inc. and Nivel Parts for donations, and both companies were more than happy to help with their project. Jeffrey Allen Inc. donated a golf cart and Nivel Parts donated brand new parts and accesso- ries. Ethan and Dylan then took the used cart totally apart. They had it painted and rebuilt it to make the cart look brand new. Once the boys completed the rebuild, they held a raffle for donations to raise funds for a charity they are passionate about. The first charity the boys are working with is Meadow’s Playground. Meadow Pollack was one of the 17 victims of Stoneman Douglas. Her father, Andrew Pollack, is build- ing a playground and garden in memory of his daughter. He had a big fundraiser recently where the boys attended. The boys received many donations for the raffle as well as online through their website. The boys raised $5,000 for Meadow’s Playground. 100% of all donations will go to the charity they are working with. This adventure has allowed the boys to get down and dirty, use their hands, learn new skills, and really feel what it’s like to help oth- ers and make a difference. Carts 4 a Cause has become very important to them and they love what they are doing. They are very excited to continue this journey and help as many people as they can along the way. 26 WWW.GOLFCAROPTIONS.COM For more information visit Carts4ACause.Org
