Despite a hazy start and a few dramatic downpours, our 2025 Charity Golf Day turned out to be a huge success—and a whole lot of fun!
Held at Lynwood Golf and Country Club, the morning kicked off with a quiet mist hanging over the greens. The rain held off just long enough for tee-off, but the grey skies couldn’t resist making an appearance shortly after. Still, spirits stayed high. Players took it all in stride—rain jackets on, clubs in hand, and smiles all around. When the sun finally broke through mid-morning, the warmth was a welcome surprise (just in time for a few dry holes!) before the heavens opened once more for a final rinse.
Through it all, the energy on course was unbeatable. Laughter echoed from hole to hole, friendly rivalries played out, and everyone rallied behind the cause that brought us together: supporting children with developmental delays, disability, and neurodivergent needs—and the families who love them.
The results…
🥇 1st Place: John Rocks On
🥈 2nd Place: Michael Downing Plumbing
🏅 Bradman Award (Last Place): Fore Play—better luck (and weather) next year!
🎽 Best Dressed: The Windstars stole the show in bright yellow, proudly raising awareness for autism with their eye-catching shirts and matching team spirit.
A community that shows up—rain or shine
Thanks to the generosity of our players, sponsors, and donors, we raised an incredible $34,000! These funds go directly toward the Stronger Together Foundation’s work—making therapy, group programs, sibling support, workshops, and inclusive events more accessible for local families.
The heart of this day is about more than just golf. It’s about connection—building a stronger, more inclusive community where all children can thrive. This support helps us run our school transition workshops, hold sensory-friendly community events, and continue offering mobile and group-based therapy options that meet families where they are.
A huge thank you to Ben Jobberns from Guardian Realty, our incredible auctioneer, who kept the crowd entertained and the bids rolling in. To our live auction bidders—you brought the energy and every dollar raised makes a difference.
To our volunteers—we couldn’t have done it without you. And to every player who showed up ready to swing, splash, and support—thank you.
Until next year—rain, shine, or both—we’ll see you on the green. 💛
