VESSEL - Changing the World, One Bag at a Time

With every custom golf bag sold, VESSEL will donate a backpack filled with school supplies and basic hygiene items to a child in need.

VESSEL is a proud supporter of World Vision’s Promise Pack program. The company shares World Vision’s deep belief that every child holds the promise of life, growth and development. They are the hope of every community, and carry their dreams of a better future. Promise Pack program is designed to help children realize their promise.

AIDS threatens a child's promise
Children are deeply affected by AIDS. In Africa alone, more than 13 million children have lost one or both parents to the disease. Millions more precious children are at risk of becoming orphans, and facing a future defined by poverty.

World Vision's Promise Pack program helps bring hope to orphans and at-risk children by helping them stay in school. VESSEL participates in the program by purchasing and assembling Promise Packs for children in AIDS-affected communities. Promise Packs will let children know that someone cares for them, and open doors of opportunity for children to learn, grow, and realize their promise through education. Promise Packs are special backpacks filled with school supplies and basic personal hygiene items that help children stay healthy.

Each promise pack contains the following items:
* Backpack
* Notebooks
* Pens
* Pencils
* Pencil Sharpener
* Eraser
* Ruler
* Crayons
* Flashcards
* Toothbrush
* Washcloth
* Blanket
* Note of encouragement

By working together to assemble Promise Packs, VESSEL hopes to inspire its community by:
* Enjoy a hands-on opportunity to show unconditional love to orphans and at-risk children.
* Involve families, adults, youth, and children in a fun and meaningful service project.
* Grow closer together as you work to change the lives of children.
* Develop a greater awareness of global needs and ministry opportunities
