2009 Golf Day

A Sucessful day on the course...

The 2009 Luke Priddis Foundation Golf Day was held on Friday 19th June at Penrith Golf Club.

The 100+ players who attended enjoyed a BBQ breakfast, round of golf, the opportunity to participate in various “novelty holes”, a BBQ lunch, drinks, prizes and a chance to meet and chat with Luke Priddis and our special guest, Wendell Sailor.

The day was a HUGE success, with just over $15,000 being raised. This money has been allocated to our “Building Fund”, for the purpose of building our first Autism Early Intervention Centre in Western Sydney. This Centre will offer preschool aged children with Autism, the necessary Early Intervention therapy and support they require, during this critical stage in their development, and will also be a place where their parents and careers can find support and guidance, to assist them to best support their Autistic child.

We would like to sincerely thank all those who attended the Golf Day, as well as the individuals and businesses who sponsored the day and/or donated their goods, services and time to help make this event such a success, both in terms of raising money for our Centre and also awareness of Autism.

A heart-felt thank you goes out to the following individuals and businesses:-
