Hey Guys,
I am trying to help spread the word about a golf outing on Saturday...sorry for the short notice!
I am participating in and helping run the 5th Annual "I Love Lucy" golf outing at The Links at Echo Springs in Johnstown. Registration is at 12:30PM with a shotgun start hopefully at 1PM.
Lucy is the daughter of one of my coworkers. She was born on August 4th, 2009 and she is a very unique littler girl with unique and special needs. Lucy, soon to be 5 years old, suffers from a very severe form of Epilepsy, Cerebral Palsy, an abnormal brain, a short palette, and an unknown degree of vision impairment. These very rare conditions are not known to be connected by an underlying genetic disorder. In order to combat these mental and physical challenges, Lucy regularly sees Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Speech, Music and Massage Therapists. Lucy engages in these therapies on top of her already rigorous schedule of specialist visits.
In the past year she has had 2 major surgeries on her hips to try and promote proper growth so that she may one day be able to walk. These 2 surgeries are in addition to the 20+ major surgeries she has had throughout her short life.
This benefit is the largest event of the year for her and her family and right now, we are short on golfers! The cost is $80 per person and includes 18 holes of golf, cart, hole competition, dinner and a silent auction. The course has agreed to give us all profits on beer sales which comes to about $.80 per so come thirsty!
We are hoping to raise $15,000 as the money is used to help pay for the very expensive private school and never ending medical bills...think 7 figures.
If you are interested in getting a foursome together, please let me know and I will help you get registered. I think we will be able to accept checks at the course if needed.
We are also still looking for donated items that can be raffled off. Wine packages, gift certificates, sports memorabilia, etc are all appreciated!
You may also make a donation if you are unable to attend. Please PM me for details.
Please let me know if you have any questions .
