SFPGA PROFESSIONALS VISIT PALM BEACH CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL PROVIDING GIFTS TO THE YOUNG PATIENTS
ATLANTIS, FL - Golf is the charitable sport in the world, and yesterday five Southeast Chapter PGA Professionals proved why.
Paul Clivio, PGA, Jeff, Waber, PGA, Ben Bauer, PGA, Shawn Costello, PGA and David Flinn, PGA spent yesterday morning at Palm Beach Children Hospital at St. Mary Medical Center visiting every room providing each young patient with a new toy, putting smiles on many faces and bringing tears to parents eyes.
Over the course of the last two months the PGA members and associates of the Southeast Chapter of the South Florida PGA have been collecting toys at various golf facilities throughout south Florida, all of which made this day possible.
This was just AWESOME, said Southeast Chapter President and PGA Director of Golf at St. Andrew Country Club, Paul Clivio. I never could have imagined how humbling and rewarding this experience was going to be. When we walked out of the last room I looked back and caught the young patient giving her grandmother two thumbs up from her hospital bed. It was absolutely priceless.
As they visited each room, the only information they were provided was the patients name and age. The unknowns laid in why these young individuals were in the hospital, but what they did know is that what they were doing was going to make their stay just a little bit better.
This is just something very small that we can do to give back to our community, and our goal is to do it again next year and provide even more gifts to the patients and their families, said Jeff Waber, PGA Director of Golf at Broken Sound-Old Course.
