Miracles for Kids
IRVINE, Calif., March 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A total of 18 event sponsors, 124 golfers, 25 volunteers, and 17 vendors gathered to enjoy a day of sunshine on the green at the 5th Annual Miracles for Kids Golf Invitational presented by Perricone Farms at the prestigious Santa Ana Country Club. The much-anticipated fundraiser brought in over $200,000 in 2022 and proved even more successful this year, with a record-breaking grand total of $223,000 raised. These funds will help to support programs for hundreds of Miracles for Kids families in need of vital financial assistance, wellness resources, housing, and basic needs while struggling to care for a critically-ill child.
On Monday, March 27, 2023 participants were invited to explore Orange County’s championship golf course, recently ranked #1 by Golfweek following a $6.5M update to pathways and landscaping. The all-inclusive, full-day event included the chance to win over 125 opportunity item prizes, such as a private jet for four and a day of golf at Pebble Beach, luxury stays, or wine packages and golf outings. Exciting on-course contests included the $1 million Shoot Out, Putting Contest, “Guess Your Distance,” “Beat the Pro,” and more. This year’s hole-in-one prize was ownership of a 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA thanks to Fletcher Jones Motorcars of Newport Beach and, while no one won, all players still enjoyed an elevated day of play with tacos and tequila at the course’s “Bunker Bar” plus a variety of signature drinks alongside delectable tastings and treats throughout the course. Pros on the course included Lady Golf Professionals Paris Griffith and Maiya Tanaka. Congratulations to all prize winners!
