Golfers and Non-Golfers Help Ensure that Community’s Grieving Children Receive Critically Needed Services
The Swing for Hope Golf Classic, with DAV (Disabled American Veterans) as Premier Sponsor and Marsh & McLennan as Platinum Sponsor, has a Shotgun Start at 1 pm. In addition to 18 holes on a championship golf course, tournament participants will enjoy a delicious lunch hosted by Harrah’s Resort Southern California and an on-course game competition.
The cocktail reception begins at 6 pm, followed by a delicious dinner, live auction and awards. Non-golfers are encouraged to join the fun. During the live auction, attendees will have the opportunity to bid on must-have items including luxury vacation packages. Even non-attendees can try their luck at winning two round-trip tickets on Southwest Airlines by purchasing raffle tickets.
Proceeds from Swing Fore Hope Golf Classic make it possible for The Elizabeth Hospice to offer children’s bereavement services free-of-charge to everyone, including families who do not have an affiliation with The Elizabeth Hospice. These services include: in-school grief support groups in 20 school districts, peer support groups in our Children’s Bereavement Centers in Escondido and Mission Valley, Camp Spero, a summer bereavement camp, and grief education and support for school professionals.
Registration for Swing Fore Hope Golf Classic (tournament and/or dinner) is now open at www.elizabethhospice.org/golf.
