We are thrilled to say that without a doubt our 9th Annual Miracle League Golf Tournament was a huge success!! We were blessed with beautiful weather, 135 Golfers, 76 Hole Sponsors, incredibly generous supporters including our Corporate sponsor Anchor Hydro, and amazing & dedicated volunteers! We are grateful to the hard-working staff at Sutton Creek Golf Course (thanks Cory & Jeff and staff!) who went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly for our tournament
There are so many highlights from the day but some of the best moments were having Miracle League family members join us to golf, hearing the laughter and seeing the smiling faces of the golfers (many who have golfed for 9 years in a row at our tournament), and the overall good feeling that it was truly an enjoyable day shared by all involved. Everyone present was there to support the Miracle League of Amherstburg and what a tremendous feeling that was! Special thanks to Julien, Meghan & Max who added their own special touches to the day to make the day sparkle.
