Golf, Support A Child

If you are planning to head out to the course for a game of golf this weekend, it just so happens you can support a child at the same time.

The Lilliput Children’s Services is hosting its regional Spikes and Tees Golf-A-Thon this Friday at courses in the area.

And the best part? All the proceeds go back to the program’s services to help find homes for children.

But if you are not too comfortable about your swing, that’s okay. You can also sponsor another golfer to do the work for you. There is a $500 participation fee, so you can ask friends, family or co-workers to help donate to such a worthy fundraiser, which will help find permanent homes for foster care children.

So sign up and tee-off for a good cause! 

The Lilliput Children Services has specialized in domestic adoptions since 1980 and provides Northern California foster, adoption and kinship services.

Participating Courses:

Sacramento
Del Paso Country Club
Northridge Country Club

Davis
El Macero Country Club
Wild Horse Golf Club

Lincoln
Catta Verdera Country Club

Napa
Chardonnay Golf Club
