Saving Lives Golf Charity

As a setting sun flickered over the Ft. Lauderdale Country Club on a warm spring day, celebrities, corporate leaders, educators and health and mental health professionals knew they had accomplished their mission. They teed off for 18-holes of golf during the 5th Annual Fore the Kids: Saving Lives Golf Charity, which raised tens of thousands of dollars to improve the lives of children. The event, organized by Dr. Deborah Mulligan, an emergency room pediatrician, and Nova Southeastern University’s Institute for Child Health Policy Director, is dedicated to raising money for research, training and educating the public about child and family related issues in the community.

Like previous years, the 2009 charity golf tournament was another success. It boasted a field of talented golfers who hit numerous birdies and pars at the country club’s beautiful greens in the name of children. In addition to the golf tournament, fundraising included the purchase of fabulous raffle and silent auction prizes. Rocker Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden acted as an auctioneer. Not only has this event dazzled the local community with quality golf, but it has also consistently raised generous amounts of money to benefit the health of children. Mark your calendars next year for the 6th Annual Fore the Kids: Saving Lives Celebrity Golf Charity on Friday May 7. For more information log onto: www.nova.edu/forekids
