You're Invited: 2nd Annual Saving Grace Fundraiser
Posted by Golf4Her Foundation on Apr 12th 2022
The stars of the LPGA Tour are coming out for our 2nd Annual Saving Grace Fundraising event benefiting Grace, the daughter of LPGA tour pro Jane Park and Peter Godfrey, LPGA Tour Caddy.
In July 2021, 10 month old Grace was hospitalized with seizures and brain swelling and has since been diagnosed with severe brain damage. What caused this is still undetermined. As a result, she may live a life in need of assistance. Because of this unplanned, life-changing event, our goal is to help the family adjust to their new life caring for a child with long-term special needs.
For the last several years, Golf4Her has been Jane's apparel sponsor while on tour, but our support has shifted and we are forever committed to Grace to ensure she has the resources she needs to live the happy life she deserves.
This unplanned, life-changing event caused Jane and Peter to interrupt their careers to care for their daughter. By raising funds with this event we can show them we are all thinking of Grace. This signature event host by the Golf4Her Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity, has created a truly unique fundraising experience for golf fans and the community around us with 100% off all donations going to Grace. Participants and sponsors will:
- enjoy a casual evening with top LPGA Tour professionals and special guests
- play simulator games with the LPGA Pro in luxury Topgolf Swing Suites with chances to win unique prizes
- indulge in passed hors d’oeuvres created by world renowned chef, David Burke
- sip signature cocktails by sponsors Patron Tequila and Links Drinks
- bid on silent auction that include unique and exclusive golf experiences and sign sports memorabilia donated by the global golf community
