David Keuhner, the founder and CEO of Destination Cellars, has played in The YouthQuest Foundation’s fundraising golf tournament every year since 2009. He’ll be there again this year, on August 12, for The Challenge at Trump National.
David told us why he supports YouthQuest:
I got involved with YouthQuest Foundation back in late 2008. After having an opportunity to meet with co-founders Lynda Mann and Allen Cage and learning more about what the goals of YouthQuest were, I had to get involved in some way.
Having lost my father when I was six years old, I was raised by a single mom. Luckily, I had a great family and a support cast of friends that helped over the years. However I was certainly a perfect candidate for being an “at-risk youth.” I was extremely lucky, but unfortunately many kids aren’t. They don’t have a solid foundation around them to help them succeed.
I understand — and YouthQuest clearly understands — that our youth are the next leaders of our country. They need a strong base to build upon for the future. YouthQuest is trying to give these kids a second chance with a solid foundation to learn and to be a positive influence to society. YouthQuest is a model foundation to help the youth of tomorrow.
Not only is David a great friend of our Foundation, he’s also one of the most fashionable players on the golf course every year. Will he be sporting the multi-colored polka-dot shorts again this time? The bold diamond pattern? The elegant basic black or gray?
Maybe he’ll surprise us with a new look for 2013. You can help decide. Post a comment on our Facebook page to tell David what to wear this year. Then sign up to join David and our other supporters for a day of fun and fundraising at Trump National in Potomac Falls, Va. For details, visit www.youthquestfoundation.org or call (703) 234-4633.
