Exciting Myrtlewood Golf Tournament to Support Local Families in Need
In the beautiful city of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, excitement is brewing for a fantastic cause. Get ready for the 6th Annual Myrtlewood Golf Tournament scheduled for Saturday, September 6, 2025. This much-anticipated event promises a day of fun and golf, all while supporting a noble mission – granting wishes for children facing critical illnesses through Make-A-Wish South Carolina.
A Day on the Green
The tournament will take place at the gorgeous Myrtlewood Golf Club, utilizing both the PineHills and Palmetto courses. Participants can look forward to a lively morning starting with registration and breakfast at 8:30 a.m., followed by a thrilling shotgun start at 10 a.m. The game will be played in a Captain’s Choice format, ensuring that everyone can join in the fun regardless of their skill level.
More Than Just Golf
Beyond the classic rounds of golf, the tournament will feature exciting raffles, fun hole contests, and various challenges that add an extra layer of enjoyment. Community spirit is at the heart of this event, with local businesses stepping up to offer support. Notable past contributors have included popular spots like Dave & Busters, Red Robin, and Topgolf.
Significant Contributions to a Heartwarming Cause
The Myrtlewood Senior Men’s Golf Association has a long-standing tradition of giving back to the community through charity tournaments, raising funds for Make-A-Wish for several years. Their efforts are especially crucial as they aim to contribute to an outstanding goal – granting wishes to children undergoing difficult medical journeys.
This year will be particularly special, as participants will compete for various prizes, with the entire community invited to join in the joy of helping others. Previous tournaments were able to raise enough to grant at least five wishes, and this year promises to continue that wonderful legacy.
Luca’s Journey
A shining example of the impact of these efforts can be seen in the story of a local hero, Luca Holmes. This brave 5-year-old is a cancer survivor who recently had his wish to visit Disney World granted. Beginning October 30, Luca and his family will embark on an all-expenses-paid trip to the magical destination, providing some much-needed joy after a challenging battle with leukemia.
Luca’s family, who faced countless difficulties and a strain on their finances during his lengthy medical treatment, has since established the Strongman Luca James Foundation to support other families grappling with childhood cancer. Their story resonates deeply within the community, encouraging even more people to get involved in charitable efforts.
Make-A-Wish South Carolina: Making Dreams Come True
Make-A-Wish South Carolina has been hard at work, having granted 237 wishes in the last fiscal year, with an ambitious target of 250 wishes in the upcoming year. The average cost to grant a wish is approximately $7,500, and the funds raised during the Myrtlewood tournament will directly contribute to making many of these dreams a reality.
Join the Fun!
As you can see, the Myrtlewood Golf Tournament is not just a day on the course but a heartfelt mission to bring joy and hope to children and families facing challenging circumstances. Whether you’re a golf enthusiast or simply someone who loves to contribute to a worthy cause, there are sponsorship opportunities and registrations available through the Make-A-Wish South Carolina website.
Mark your calendars for September 6, 2025, grab your golfing buddies, and get ready to swing for a cause that truly matters! Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children and families in our community.
