 Par2Pro Hosts Closest-to-the-Pin Fundraiser at Edmonton PGA Golf Show
EDMONTON, AB (March 23, 2009) - Par2Pro was proud to have hosted the PGA's Closest-to-the-Pin fundraiser at the 2009 PGA of Alberta's Edmonton Golf Show March 21st and 22nd at Northlands Agricom. Golfers from Edmonton and area competed on the P3ProSwing system for a $5000 Dream Vacation in Ireland - with the closest shot being 2.1 feet from the pin. The competition raised almost $1500 for the Kids with Cancer Society. The second part of the competition will be held in Calgary which will raise money for the Kids Cancer Care Foundation. The winner will be announced at the end of the show on March 29th.
"We are extremely proud to be hosting this fundraiser for the PGA of Alberta. The Kids with Cancer Society and Kids Cancer Care Foundation are incredible organizations and we are honored to be assisting in their missions." said Cory Gauvreau, President of Par2Pro™. "It was a great success in Edmonton and we hope to continue it in Calgary. We are going to add a bonus draw for an antique Hickory Stick donated by Legends Golf."
The $5000 Dream Golf Vacation in Ireland for Two Prize, generously donated by www.GolfVacationsIreland.com, includes 6 rounds of golf and 6 nights accommodation, K Palmer (Ryder Cup venue) and Smurfit courses, Links at Portmarnock and The Island, Druids Glen and Heath Courses, staying 2 nights at each of The K Club, Portmarnock Hotel and Druids Glen Hotel.
Established in 1979, the Kids with Cancer Society was built through the efforts of volunteer parents and members of the community and today is considered a lifeline to those affected by childhood cancer.
The Kids with Cancer Society provides more program support to children with cancer and their families than all other Northern Alberta charities combined. Not only does the Society provide essential practical and psychosocial support to children with cancer and their families, but they also provide valuable funding for childhood cancer research and research on the long term effects of childhood cancer.
