Golf balls fly for charity 31.03.09
|
MANY people think golf
is a "fairway to heaven" and a Donegal rotary club
hopes to cash in on this to raise funds for
Letterkenny Hospital's Oncology Unit and Breast
Cancer Clinic. 'Golf Balls from Heaven' is a unique
charity stunt being organised by Letterkenny Rotary
Club for Saturday, April 25. |
 |
A large quantity of
golf balls - corresponding to the numbers of tickets
sold - will be hoisted in the air by a helicopter to
a height of around 60 metres. The helicopter will
fly above a target on the ground and the golf balls
will be dropped. The balls landing closest to the
target will win one of four prizes, from €1000 to
€150. There will also be ten more non-cash prizes.
The event will take place in Letterkenny Town Park,
with bouncy castle, slide, face painting, golfing
range and music also planned for a great family day
out. Rotary spokesperson Gary Gomringer appealed for
support: "We at the Rotary believe that there is
practically no family anywhere in County Donegal
which has not been, directly or indirectly, |
|
affected by cancer."
Tickets will be on sale at stores throughout
Letterkenny. For more information, call Gary on 074
9168855. |
