The phoenix Childrens hospital is a great place that takes real good care of the kids. They also host wonderful events including swing fore kids golf classic.
A few years back I attend an event with my brother and my mom. It was called swing fore kids golf classic. It was a lot of fun seeing all the children including my brother playing golf with the pros. My brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor and was unable to do a lot of things growing up participated in this event because it is for children with cancer. I feel that this event is a wonderful idea. The kids get to finally go out and enjoy themselves. As well as all the donations that they receive go to a worthy cause. This event is very
important in my point of view to help the family's as well as the children overcome a lot of different things and get to do something fun. This event is hosted by the phoenix children's hospital. And sponsored by pet smart and southwest section of PGA
.
When it comes to this event it is not only for the kids enjoyment but also for the donations. All the donations made to this event go to the animal therapy program which helps the kids overcome the fear of their chemo, or just makes the child happy and understanding of all the pricks and pokes to help them. Therefore if you are not a golfer there is an at least 50 dollar donation fee but it includes lunch, admission
to the silent auction as well as part of the raffle. Or if you would like to just make a donation you can go to this website http://www.cbre.com/USA/US/AZ/Phoenix/Misc/swingforekidsgolfclassic.htm?pageid=0 and fill out a donation form and send it in. They do not have a set donation goal at this time.
When it comes to the kids at this event. I think it is a wonderful thing to see these kids out and about finally being able to have some fun for once. When it comes to a normal child who is healthy and isn't spending most their life in and out of hospitals they are able to do what normal kids do aka go to school, go outside and play in the yard as well as if their parents wanna take them mini golfing they can. As for children with cancer they have weakened immune systems which prevent them from being able to do a lot of things normal children do. Therefore the swing fore kids golf classic is a chance for these kids to go out and enjoy the weather as well as themselves. At the end of the classic as well is a 50,000 hole in one grand prize which can help pay for medical expenses even just something fun for the child themselves to enjoy.
Therefore by my perspective I feel that swing fore kids golf classic event is a wonderful opportunity for children of all ages with cancer to go out and have a fun time playing golf with the pros. And with all the donations they are receiving while the children are having a blast they will be able to keep the animal therapy program at large to help the kids when there back in the hospital.
