My first Sunshine Kids Golf Tournament!

This year was my very first year of actually being able to attend the Sunshine Kids Golf Tournament. The day was filled with so much happiness and laughter that my cheeks actually hurt when I went home! The golf players had such a great time and really enjoyed the side games many of the Realtors offered. I helped with the croquet game. This game offered an extra entry for the door prizes so I think every player came to try their luck or shall I call it “skill” at croquet.

What a great day we had! Tons of laughter, jokes and some GREAT golf scores! Beautiful weather kept the temperature perfect and gave us all a bit of a tan. Oxbow is absolutely gorgeous with a staff that was so friendly and helpful. Oh and I found out that NOT everyone should drive a golf cart. Trust me on this!

Everyone got along as though they were old friends. Even if this was the first year they had attended the tournament. There was a sense of togetherness that I’m not sure I can explain. But when we all came together for the awards presentation where Daryl and Lyn spoke about our special Sunshine Kids, I looked around the room at these wonderful people who came together this one day to support our Sunshine Kids and I felt humbled.

I’m so privileged and proud to be a part of Sunshine Kids. Can’t wait for next year!

Birdie Boyz Bust Out The Drivers For The Kids!

Last summer I received a phone call to partake in a golf tournament. A golf tournament is just a golf tournament and I wasn’t overly excited to play until Megan Messer told me it was for a superb organization, called the Sunshine Kids Foundation, which helps these astonishing kids do activities and trips when they are undergoing cancer treatments! I couldn’t say YES fast enough! I rounded up a team that included: me, my dad, and a couple of his buddies. The Birdie Boyz were born!

We had an excellent time and couldn’t have asked for anything to be different. This tournament had a fantastic turnout and was a blast! The weather was perfect! 80 degrees, slight breeze, and outstanding personnel that hosted this tournament! Oxbow country club was in tremendous shape! Fairways were plush and the greens were fast! A golfers dream!

We ended up playing very well and had an exceptional time these kids are incredibly strong and the least I can do is hit a couple balls to raise money to help their cause.

I have received the call to defend our title and I am doing everything I can to get the team back and bring it home for the kids once more!

I urge you to get involved! Whether it is putting for par or cheering on the sidelines, come out and enjoy a wonderful afternoon in the sun!

Sunshine Kids Update!

The Sunshine Kids Foundation is an amazing organization. The Foundation provides 10 national trips each year for young cancer patients from various hospitals across the nation. The trips sound like great fun! Las Vegas Getaway. Broadway Shows. New Orleans. Florida. Colorado ski trips. The kids travel with a caregiver...no parents are allowed! The reason for that is it gives these kids a chance to be independent and develop their self-confidence. Oncology doctors say that it's a proven fact that self-confidence is a major factor in the healing process. The trips also give the kids a chance to interact and make friends with kids who are going through the same thing they are. It's an awesome experience for them and they make life-long friends.

The Foundation provides these trips free of charge to both the families and the medical institutions. The average cost per person for the trips, depending on the medical care required, is somewhere between $7500 and $10,000 per kid. Sunshine Kids is funded solely by donation. So you can see that the funds that are raised through events like our golf tournament are essential to providing these great kids with an life-changing experience!

We are so grateful for the many, many people and businesses who participate in our tournament! We'd love to see you there this year!!!
