Bullying Education in School. Golf at Palencia to help Children.
Over the past few years we've been hearing more and more about bullying among our youth. While bullying has been around since the beginning of time, technology increases the pain that some children feel. Where they used to be able to come home and get away from it, social media, cell phones, and other various online connections mean that children rarely have a chance to escape.

The Monique Burr Foundation for Children, Inc provides school based prevention programs through education. The two hour course is administered in classrooms for children grades 1 - 5 at no charge to Florida public schools. The foundation hopes to provide the program to all public elementary schools throughout Florida. The cost of this program is approximately $2 per child, meaning that for less than a cup of Starbucks, you can help educate a child on how to prevent or handle abuse and bullying.
