Christel House Open

The Derrickson Financial Group supports The Christel House Open, a one-day charity golf tournament organized simultaneously at some of the greatest golf courses around the world. The purpose is to raise funds for impoverished, orphaned and abandoned children around the world.

Overseas Troops

The Derrickson Financial Group has several clients who are currently active in the Army Reserve and stationed in Afghanistan. Their Financial Representative, Mr. Chris Barnthouse; retired U.S. Army Major, has frequent contact with their families in the United States and has asked what the soldiers need. For example, one of his clients is an avid reader and asked that we send paperback novels.

The Derrickson Financial Group has an ongoing "Book Drive" for used novels that are forwarded to our clients’ battalion stationed in Afghanistan. In addition, Chris has an ongoing "Book and School Supply Drive" he supports for the military supported development of schools in Afghanistan.
