 Alabama Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Inc.

The Alabama Sheriffs Youth Ranches is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit Christian organization that provides homes for needy young people throughout Alabama. Starting with one Boys Ranch in 1966, Alabama’s sheriffs hoped to provide boys who were in crises a safe haven as well as a surrogate family. In doings so, our sheriffs established an organization that gives every child an opportunity to become productive, successful members of our society.

We provide our children with a structured, loving Christian environment. The children attend schools in their local communities and learn the value of work ethic by sharing in household duties, as well as chores on the Ranches. Ranchers also participate in daily family devotionals and pledging allegiance to the American flag. We have four Ranches located in Baldwin County, Colbert County, St. Clair County and Tallapoosa County.

The Ranches operate almost entirely through funds donated by individuals and corporations, as well as income from special events and grants. A large portion of the player’s fees and the entire hole sponsor fee is a tax-deductible donation to the children. Thank you for supporting the children through your participation in this charitable event.
