Tee Up For Down! – Tee Off For a Worthy Cause in the Upcoming Down Syndrome Golf Tournament
Posted on 2010-11-30 by GolfPH
A person affected with Down Syndrome demonstrates an astounding amount of fortitude and determination to bring out the best in them when it comes to living their lives every day, and thanks to committed parents, relatives, and physicians, their lives are better and more positive with love and understanding.
The Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines, Inc. (DSAPI) continues its promotion and support programs for those families with members affected by Down Syndrome by holding a one of a kind Golf Tournament that aims to expand awareness and promote a caring spirit for others.
Why not play a round of golf in the 8th DSAPI golf tournament entitled “Tee Up for Down” which will be held at the Riviera Golf and Country Club on Friday February 11, 2011. Shotgun tee off will start at 7:30 AM, the green fee, golf cart and lunch is inclusive of the Php 2,500.00 fee.
All proceeds from this tournament will go to the DSAPI so participate and tee off for a worthy cause! Get the opportunity to help those families and their sons and daughters with Down Syndrome. Not only will you get to play in beautiful greens but you’ll also have the opportunity to help.
All GolfPh card members and other golfers can participate and even sponsor to be a part of this event. Get in touch with Ms. Adette De la Paz from the DSAPI office for more details, via tel nos. 895-3606 or 8959642.

Yes, this is a great tournament and it will only be successful when it raises funds to support the activities of the Down Syndrome association. We’re volunteer-based and rely solely on donations for our operations, mostly outreach missions, seminars, and other activities that provide awareness on DS that greatly enhances their potential to live more normal lives, just like our son Jeremy, shown in the poster, who loves to play golf! See more on Facebook \ Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines, or contact us: Adette de la Paz at the DSAPI Office – 895 3606 / 895 9642, or email me at elmer_lapena@yahoo.com. Hoping for your generous donations.
For those interested to play, please book your reservations with Adette. Thank you!

What a great way to play golf and at the same time help. Will definitely try to make it and will invite friends to this tournament.
Glad to hear about this tournament! We hardly have these types of events. It’s good that people are finally doing something for those who are suffering from down syndrome. Hopefully, a lot of people will participate.
I pray that this event will be a success. God bless you!
