Tee off to help grant wishes for sick kids
Published 12:00pm 20 September 2024
Moreton Bay golfers are being encouraged to hit the green to do their bit to help sick kids, with X-Golf North Lakes partnering with the Starlight Children’s Foundation to help fund five life-changing wishes.
The North Lakes business is one of 25 participating X-Golf locations Australia-wide taking part in the inaugural Starlight Scramble, which runs from now until October 12.
As part of the initiative, Starlight Scramble participants must pass on the $70 savings from the discounted simulator hire to the foundation, which allows for four players to enjoy a nine-hole scramble.
You can also go in the draw to win some other great prizes.
X-Golf’s Peter Nolan says when sick kids’ worlds are filled with hospitals and treatments, a Starlight Wish is an incredible gift of happiness.
“It’s a cause that’s close to our hearts here at X-Golf and we’re pleased to work together to help these families leave the pain of illness behind for a moment to enjoy more of what matters most.”
At a cost of $7,500 per wish, Peter says they have set their sights high but is confident punters will join in to support the little ones of the local community.
