A record-breaking $205,000 was raised for pediatric care in Northeastern Ontario at the 2023 Palladino Auto Group Golf Classic for NEO Kids.
On June 15, a sold-out field participated in a day of golf and entertainment hosted at Idylwylde Golf and Country Club, supporting healthcare for the youngest patients requiring specialized pediatric care at Health Sciences North.
Since its inception, the Palladino Auto Group Golf Classic for NEO Kids has raised over $730,000 for NEO Kids Foundation.
With this year's amount, The NEO Kids Foundation is closer to reaching the $1 million milestone - a milestone they hope to achieve at next year's event.
“It is a tremendous honour for the Palladino Auto Group to work with like-minded community partners and sponsors, to bring awareness and much-needed funds to support pediatric care in Sudbury for the families in Northeastern Ontario through this annual event,” said Vince Palladino, president, Palladino Auto Group.
The goal of the Palladino Auto Group Golf Classic for NEO Kids is to raise funds for specialized pediatric equipment and services at Health Sciences North. The annual event also hopes to highlight awareness about the health-care needs of the children in our community and the growing need for specialized services in Northeastern Ontario.
“I am in continual awe of this incredible tournament,” said Anthony Keating, President and Chief Development Officer, Foundations at Health Sciences North. “The Palladino Auto Group has been an exceptional advocate for children’s health-care needs in Northeastern Ontario. It is truly inspiring watching our community come together to support our youngest patients requiring care.”
