A Message from Charles Barker
I have always believed that cars are our business, but kids are our future.
That’s why we created Charles Barker Champions for Kids, a charity organization with the goal of raising funds to provide support of programs serving the youth of Hampton Roads. Since 1994, generous contributions of our sponsors have helped us raise over four million dollars for these various organizations. We have a fantastic time at the charity auction and golf tournament, but it is only a vehicle to raise the money; the charities have always been the focus.
I am honored to be associated with our fine sponsors and great friends who have supported Charles Barker Champions for Kids year after year. Please contact us to become a sponsor of this year’s event or to make a charitable donation. With your support and charitable action, we’re sure to make a difference in our kids’ futures.
Our Mission
Charles Barker Champions for Kids is a Section 501(c)(3) charitable organization committed to the belief that the future of our community is dependent on the physical, emotional, and educational well-being of our youth. Our mission is to raise funds in support of community programs, education and scholarships for youth in Hampton Roads.
As has been the tradition, we do not charge administration fees, so nearly all proceeds go towards programs in the areas of counseling for teens, drug and alcohol awareness, educational scholarships, and community mentorship programs. Our goal is to resource and assist the many Hampton Roads organizations dedicated to making a deep and sustaining difference in the lives of our children.
