Meaningful Memories Created:

We adopted 25 families for the holidays, providing gifts picked out especially for each one of the family members

We gave a puppy with all the essentials & extras to a special girl that needed a best friend!

We arranged for Santa and his Elves to visit the Pediatric Specialty Center at Joe DiMaggio's & left patients with bicycles & bags full of toys for themselves as well as their siblings

On Christmas Day at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, we made sure Santa visited each child and personally delivered their presents

We had the privilege of providing financial support to a family that really needed it

We are very proud to have contributed to the creation of these meaningful memories for the kids & their families, and we too will cherrish these memories for many years to come...

Our charity work began in 2000 from a single charity golf tournament benefiting Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital.

With the proceeds, we purchased toys for the children at the cancer ward and visited them on Christmas Day. "Santa" handed out presents, hoping his visit would brighten their day.

Now, the golf charity is more successful then ever and we are expanding our charity so that we can give even more to the ones who need it the most. In 2004, we created the Dependonus Foundation in memory of Steven La Bruyere one of the special children that started it all.



These brave children have to endure so much & they do it with courage & strength. They are our inspiration!

The Dependonus Foundation was established in loving memory of Stephen A. La Bruyere, Jr.
During the 2003 holiday season, we were astounded when one of the children we had hoped to surprise, gave us a gift!
It was Stephen. His love of life and excitement woke something up inside us. He gave us insight to what we were trying to accomplish. It became very clear that what we were doing was just the tip of what could be accomplished. Not long ago, Stephen lost his battle with cancer a few days before his 6th Birthday
