Description

 

Amazing Gracie’s Gift Foundation will be hosting the 11th Annual Amazing Gracie’s Golf Tournament on Saturday June 10, 2023 at Stonebridge Golf Club in New Hartford, New York from 9 am until 6 pm.   Amazing Gracie’s Gift Foundation is a 501c(3) not-for-profit organization created in memory of Gracie M. Lawton, a 21-month-old who fought cancer courageously before losing her battle in January of 2012.  In an effort to keep her memory alive, Amazing Gracie’s Gift Foundation has been formed to help children and families who find themselves in the same terrible situation. There is no doubt that the need for families who are battling life-threatening diseases is huge. Very few, if any, foundations make and create wishes for children under the age of 2 ½.

Donors like you have made it possible for our foundation to support children and families in many ways.  Since our inception as a foundation in March of 2012, we have accomplished many goals such as:

 

 

·       Financial Assistance/Monetary gifts to many families with children battling cancer.

·       Supported and sent families on vacations to create memories that will last a lifetime.

·       Donated $25,000 to the Ronald McDonald House in Albany for a room in our Gracie’s name that will provide loved ones the ability to stay near their little one in the hospital.

·       We stay in contact with and support families at The Melodies Center at Albany Med and Golisano Children’s Hospital

·       We Sponsor the Beads of Courage program at the Melodies Center at Albany Med.

·       Partnered with the Ronald McDonald House in Albany to help sponsor the Krantz Cottage vacation house in Lake George.

This golf tournament will bring us one step closer to providing monetary and other gifts to families in need. We are looking for corporations and individuals to help sponsor this event. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and will be acknowledged at our event.  Last year, we had over 160 participants of all skill levels, both men and women, making for a fun, successful event and ultimately raising over $28,000 for Amazing Gracie’s Gift Foundation, directly benefiting children and families in dire need.

If you could please provide us with gift certificates, gift baskets, memorabilia to be auctioned off or items to be gives out as prizes it would be greatly appreciated.  Please mail all donations to Amazing Gracie’s Gift Foundation attention of Geoff Lawton at 5 Hillview Drive, Mohawk, NY 13407 by May 29, 2023. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Please direct all questions to Geoff Lawton at lawton1175@gmail.com or call (h)315-866-8606/ (c)315-868-8255. Thank you in advance for your sponsorship, and we hope you will support us in future endeavors.
