Carnarvon participated in the #DoingItForJarrod Campaign on Saturday 24 August & Sunday 25 August, supporting Kids with Cancer as supported by the Challenge Foundation. Thank you to all who offered support over the August weekend. Carnarvon was able to raise funds of $1000 for this worthy cause.
A letter from David Rogers, Chief Executive Officer & Briony Lyle, #DoingItForJarrod Coordinator was recently received which has been detailed below:
On behalf of everyone at Challenge, we would like to thank you for participating in the inaugural #DoingltForJarrod campaign by holding a golf day in honour of Jarrod Lyle.
Jarrod was a member of Challenge when he was a teen and became an active Ambassador of the organisation whilst striving to be a professional golfer on the prestigious PGA Tour. Throughout his life, Jarrod battled cancer on three separate occasions. Sadly, in 2018 Jarrod lost his battle however he left behind an indelible mark and in turn, Challenge and his family will now work hard to honour his legacy - to help other children and families who are dealing with this insidious disease.
The funds that are being raised through the #DoingltForJarrod campaign will be directed towards a new program, "Jarrod's Gift". This program will provide services that assist families with the small things to help them through their cancer journey.
As a participant in the campaign, your club has now been entered into our Major Prize draw, which will take place on 17 October 2019.
Three lucky winners will travel to play in the 2019 Australian PGA Championship ProAm being held at the RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast.
In addition to the Major Prize draw, your club name will be recognised on a special PGA of Australia Honour Board that will be unveiled at "Yellow Day" on Friday 20 December at the 2019 Australian PGA Championship.
Our dream is to make #DoingltForJarrod an annual fundraising event on the golfing calendar and to continue honouring the great man Jarrod was. We hope to have your support again in 2020.
