MIAMI and CARACAS, Venezuela, Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Marking the celebration of the 50^th anniversary of the foundation of the Voluntary Dividend for the Community (DVC, for its acronym in Spanish), the Barnett Capital Group launched its own Corporate Social Responsibility Program by becoming one of the major sponsors of a benefit Golf Tournament, which was successfully held at the Valle Arriba Golf Club in Caracas, Venezuela, on Tuesday, 4 November 2014.

Seeking to invest on social programs on nutrition, psychology, health and education with positive impact on less favored communities through reliable implementing agencies, the Barnett Capital Group chose to become an integral part of this sporting event that gathered more than 70 professional and amateur golf players, all united for one cause: children.

Since the early hours of the morning, players started to compete in many different categories and at the end of the day they were all given trophies and medals to reward not only their performance at the driving range, but also their solidarity, as all proceeds will go to benefit the DVC Social Programs, most of them dedicated to children aged 0-6 years.

The award ceremony was chaired by DVC Pres. Ramon Sosa, who offered kind words of thanks to all sponsors, attendees and participants for their assistance and emphasized on the importance of supporting actions that benefit the most vulnerable sectors of society.

The Barnett Capital Group believes -- in line with the DVC's mission -- that social programs should contribute to the formation of cognitive, social and emotional systems and to promoting child education, contributing to the development of the potential of those individuals so they can become fully developed adults.

At this opportunity, the DVC – one of the oldest and most prestigious civil associations in Venezuela that implements social programs for early childhood -- will use the Barnett Capital Group contribution to bolster the social programs for infants and children, which have been the main target group of this association for 50 years. Among other sponsors and contributors to the event were Gerais Jewelers, Procter & Gamble, Pepsico, Cargill, L'Oreal, Bang & Olufsen, American Airlines and Hewllet Packard.

Founded in 1964 by a group of Venezuelan businessmen, the DVC has five decades of experience creating awareness on the social responsibility of businesses and accompanying them in their social management, which has earned the DVC an invaluable trust and prestige in the business world. The Barnett Capital Group could not have found a better partner.
