Heartbeats for PATCHES recently concluded its fourth annual golf tournament at the scenic Crandon Golf Course in Key Biscayne. The event aimed to raise awareness and funds for PATCHES, a non-profit nursing center dedicated to the care of underserved children with diverse complex and chronic medical needs.
With support from county and citywide sponsors and participants, Heartbeats for PATCHES successfully raised $175,000 from the tournament. Heartbeats proudly committed a $100,000 donation, the second installment of their Angels of Hope, a $500,000 commitment to the Village Campaign fund, while an additional $30,000 was directed to cover the critical care needs for the children.
Building on the event’s success, Heartbeats for PATCHES now will also sponsor the salary of the full-time PATCHES preschool teacher who is not funded by Miami-Dade County Schools. Heartbeats for PATCHES, in partnership with members of BNI Pinecrest, hosts this golf tournament annually, with the next tournament date occurring on Nov. 8, 2024.
“We are overwhelmed by the tremendous support and generosity shown by everyone involved in the fourth annual Heartbeats for PATCHES Golf Tournament,” said Jennifer Resnick, board president at Heartbeats for PATCHES. “Together, we have not only exceeded our fundraising goals but also created an inspiring and uplifting day dedicated to changing the trajectory of the lives of these incredible children and their families and bringing them hope for a healthier future.”
It is all about the children at PATCHES for 14-year-old Junior golf phenom and national champion, Grayson Richards, a Miami Country Day student and regular participant in the tournament. Grayson has dedicated his passion to play on behalf of the children of PATCHES.
“We are thrilled to share that Gray, recently sponsored by Titleist, has generously committed to being the ‘face’ of the children at PATCHES and to represent them in all future Heartbeats’ tournaments,” Resnick added.
Set against the backdrop of the picturesque Crandon Golf Course, the day was filled with camaraderie, competitive golf, and genuine generosity, all in support of the vital cause. Participants, sponsors, and volunteers came together to make a significant impact, raising funds to further PATCHES’ mission of bringing comprehensive healthcare services to underserved, medically fragile children and support to their families.
Proceeds from the fourth annual Heartbeats for PATCHES Golf Tournament will benefit PATCHES directly, empowering the organization to continue to expand its outstanding work of serving 75 children with complex medical needs and offering them the opportunity for a brighter future.
