Charity Golf Tournaments and Golf Tournament Planning

It’s the kids; we do it for the kids.
That’s why on Monday, August 23, 2010, we will be hosting “Tee Up 4 Kids”, our first annual golf tournament to benefit the Child Life Department at Children’s Hospital Boston.
“Tee Up 4 Kids” will be held at the Cyprian Keyes Golf Club in Boylston, MA, and all proceeds will directly benefit the Child Life Department. There are 33 Child Life Specialists within the Child Life Department. These specialists work with inpatient and outpatient patients and their families to help them adjust to and understand their hospitalization and medical illness. Through the use of play, education and other developmentally appropriate interventions, child life specialists enhance the patients’ emotional, social and cognitive growth during their hospital stay.

Why do we need your help? Your contribution will help the Child Life Department continue to provide services to the patients and their families. These services include developmentally appropriate toys/games, electronics (such as video games and DVD players), back to school visits for children re-entering school, bereavement groups, support for siblings, and so much more. The Child Life Department makes Children’s a home away from home and ensures that children can celebrate their birthday, Trick or Treat on Halloween and see Santa on Christmas, even if they are here in the hospital.

How can you help? You can support the Child Life Department by being a sponsor, a golfer, or by donating items to our auction. For specific giving opportunities, please refer to the enclosed list of sponsorship and auction possibilities. This can be a wonderful opportunity for your company to gain visibility while touching the lives of children and families. For more information, visit our website by clicking here.

We have all been touched by a miracle in one way or another through Children’s Hospital Boston. It is people like you who make it possible for the children to receive this outstanding care. Please help us ensure that the Child Life Department at Children’s Hospital Boston continues to meet the needs of patients and families.

One of our tournament committee members will follow up with you to answer any questions you may have. For additional information please email TeeUp4Kids@yahoo.com or call (617) 596-5296 or (617) 869-4806.
Thank you in advance for your consideration!
Sincerely,
