Golf Enthusiasts in Orlando Rally for a Great Cause
Orlando is once again stepping up to the tee in a big way! From September 7 to September 13, GolfNow and TeeOff are inviting golfers to participate in a special campaign that not only celebrates the birthday of the legendary Arnold Palmer but also lends a helping hand to children in need. That’s right, it’s a win-win for everyone involved!
A Tee Time for Charity
So, what’s the scoop? It’s simple! Golfers booking their tee times through GolfNow and TeeOff have a unique opportunity to round up the total cost of their tee time. For example, if your tee time comes to $48.55, you can choose to round it up to $49. The extra $0.45 goes directly to support the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, making each golf outing count a little more.
A Legacy of Care
But why should you care about this particular hospital? Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children has a stellar reputation. Over the past 35 years, this facility has been dedicated to providing top-notch healthcare to children and teenagers in Central Florida. It’s not just any children’s hospital; it has consistently topped lists from U.S. News & World Report for a whopping 15 consecutive years, recognized as the only children’s hospital in Orlando to do so.
More than Just Golf
The current campaign isn’t the first time that GolfNow has been involved in charitable endeavors. Since 2021, the platform has conducted similar round-up initiatives, raising over $5.4 million for a variety of charities. This impressive figure includes valuable contributions to organizations like Youth on Course, Special Olympics, and Folda of Honor. Clearly, this initiative goes beyond just playing a round; it’s about making a meaningful impact in the community.
Focused on Comprehensive Care
One of the programs benefiting from this initiative is the Orlando Health Complex Care Program. This dedicated program is designed specifically to improve healthcare access for children and youth with special medical needs. The program helps ensure that these young patients continue receiving the necessary care as they transition into adulthood, addressing gaps that often arise during this challenging time.
Accessible Healthcare Options
What’s more, Orlando Health provides both in-person and telehealth appointments for families in the Complex Care Program. This flexibility ensures families have access to the care they need, regardless of their circumstances. It’s a compassionate approach that reflects Orlando Health’s commitment to enriching the lives of their patient community.
Recognition for Excellence
Recently, U.S. News & World Report recognized the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children as one of the Best Children’s Hospitals for 2024-2025, tying for the number two spot in Florida across five specializations. This accolade only underscores the fact that every dollar raised during the GolfNow and TeeOff campaign contributes to a trustworthy and reliable healthcare system.
A Commitment to Community
Speaking of systems, Orlando Health operates as a private not-for-profit healthcare network with impressive assets totaling $11.5 billion. Serving the southeastern U.S. and Puerto Rico, Orlando Health’s commitment to community health includes an astounding nearly $1.7 billion returned to the community through various beneficial programs and services in fiscal year 2023.
Join the Movement!
So, whether you’re an amateur golfer or a seasoned pro, consider putting in some practice and playing a round during this special week. Not only will you enjoy a day on the greens, but you’ll also be supporting a cause that’s close to the heart of many. With just a little rounding up, you can help improve the lives of children in the Orlando area, honoring the legacy of Arnold Palmer while making a real difference. It’s a fantastic opportunity to swing your golf clubs for a great cause!
