YELLOW BALL DAY 28 August
#DoingItForJarrod
Jarrod Lyle was a top Professional Australian golfer who sadly died of leukemia in 2018 at the age of 36. Jarrod was a lifelong ambassador for Challenge. With his passing, Jarrod’s gift to Challenge was his wish to raise ongoing funds to support children and families living with cancer.
To honour Jarrod, Challenge and the PGA of Australia united to create an annual nationwide fundraising campaign that is enjoyed by the entire golfing community.

Please let the Committee know if you have new fundraising suggestions and items for the silent auction or raffle.
Let’s do our best for Inclusion Melbourne.
