Welcome to the 4th annual Amazing Gracie’s Golf Scramble and a big thank you for spending the day with us and raising money for Amazing Gracie’s Gift Foundation. The funds raised today will be helping many families with children battling cancer or a life threatening illness.

The name of our foundation starts with a very important word- AMAZING. The definition of amazing is “something that is so wonderful, it is hard to find the words to match. Something that makes your heart beat faster or your heart melt. Something that tops everything else and always crosses your mind”. Gracie, my daughter was called Amazing and through this foundation we are trying to continue her legacy of Being Amazing. I believe that was achieved today. You all continue to amaze us with your generosity, support, kindness and motivation each day.
I’m sure you’ve seen our motto on some of our bracelets and shirts that say “Be Amazing, Like Gracie” . Well, I’ve taken that phrase and compiled a list of all the amazing things I’ve seen today :
– Be amazing like all our volunteers that so graciously donated their time to help us out.
– Be amazing like our sponsors that helped us raise over $9,000 before the tournament even began.
– Be amazing like those who took the time to make and donate baskets and gift certificates for today’s auction.
– Be amazing like our 160 golfers that came out and golfed for a great cause today.
Speaking of golfers I saw some of you being amazing:
-Be amazing like Courtney and golf 18 holes with only 1 club!
-Be Amazing like my team and have a running tab on mulligans that’s more than $1,000!
-Be amazing like Team Super Proulx’s wardrobe! You can spot their amazingness anywhere ☺

Being Amazing hasn’t just happened here today, there are people, kids and organizations that are also amazing everyday:
-Be amazing like the RMH of Albany. A place that provides comfort, hope, love, and support for so many families. The RMH now has more room for love in their new house and can hold up to 25 families. One of those rooms was built in Gracie’s name. It is beautiful, warm,
comforting and totally amazing.
-Be amazing like Donate for Life. You may have noticed a bag from Donate Life included in your golf bags. Please take a look at this as it is very near and dear to our hearts. One of our friends just received a heart transplant, another friend anxiously awaited a lung transplant before she passed away and Gracie’s next step in treatment would have been a liver transplant. So be amazing and Donate to Save a life.
-Be Amazing like all the kids who are so bravely fighting for their lives and also BE Amazing for the children our foundation has helped:
-Be amazing like Chase who is 3 years old and Kyla who is 4 years old. They both recently had a bone marrow transplant.
– BE amazing like Zoie who is 2 ½ years old and is fighting a very rare cancer.
– Be amazing like Arionna who is 3 ½ months old. She was born with VCF and needs a life threatening heart surgery.
– Be Amazing like Benjamin, a 4 year old who has a rare liver disease and is also battling lymphoma.
-Be amazing like Asiana who is 12 years old and has just been placed on Hospice as her glioblastoma has relapsed and there is no more they can do.
-Be amazing like Kennedy who is here today and has bravely fought the fight and beat it!

And lastly, my motto and what keeps me going on a daily basis- Be amazing like Gracie.
Thank you for your love and support and Please continue to be amazing and help Amazing Gracie’s Gift Foundation make wishes and dreams come true for so many little ones.
