Growing Up in Santa Cruz was a sponsor of the Jacob’s Heart Golf Tournament Sept. 12 at Seascape Golf Club. This year we participated for the first time with a golf team!
All proceeds from the Golf Tournament will go towards Camp Hearts + Hands. This 3-day summer-camp-style weekend is full of fun and joy for kids diagnosed with cancer and their families. From dance parties to arts and crafts, pony rides, and relaxing massages for parents, Jacob’s Heart families have a blast sharing in activities while building supportive relationships with others who understand the challenges of a pediatric cancer diagnosis. It is also an opportunity for families to establish trusting relationships and positive memories with nurses from Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, who volunteer their time to be family camp counselors.
This is a healing experience for both nurses and families.
The Growing Up in Santa Cruz foursome consisted of GUISC Marketing Manager Bobbi Jo Palmer, Golf Coach Walt Anderson from Center High School in Antelope, Ben MacDonald from California Grill & Bar and Lester Estate Wines and Adam MacDonald of Pacific Golf Center and Climbing Trees Band.
