Beautypreneur PH | Mean­ing­ful Golf Rush | Philippine Daily Inquirer – Extend­ing sup­port in dif­fer­ent events, the EPCALM Found­a­tion recently held their second golf tour­na­ment entitled 2nd EPCALM Swing for Hope Invit­a­tional Golf Tour­na­ment in Sta. Elena Golf and Coun­try Club in Santa Rosa, Laguna. The Hope Fund provides vital assist­ance and com­pre­hens­ive, fam­ily-centered care to adult leuk­emia patients and their fam­il­ies.

As the first and only non­profit in the Phil­ip­pines ded­ic­ated exclus­ively to serving adult leuk­emia patients, EPCALM deliv­ers per­son­al­ized pro­grams and ser­vices that address the med­ical, psychoso­cial, emo­tional, and spir­itual needs of patients throughout their leuk­emia jour­ney. The tour­na­ment is also held in sup­port of World Leuk­emia Aware­ness Month every Septem­ber, which the Phil­ip­pine Depart­ment of Health observes as Blood Can­cer Aware­ness Month. Through this event, EPCALM seeks not only to raise much-needed funds but also to increase pub­lic aware­ness of leuk­emia, other blood can­cers, and blood dis­orders.

I wasn’t able to play golf this year but PR guru Sunny Ku told me about the fun golf game. My flight­mates last year, Mar­tin Niev­era and Gary Valen­ciano had a great time once again.

Both the EPCALM Golf and Assump­tion Golf tour­na­ments are great fun­draisers every year.

For the Assump­tion Golf, it is always a fam­ily affair, with some par­ti­cipants proudly play­ing on the same flights as par­ents, sib­lings, and even chil­dren, turn­ing the tour­na­ment into a multi-gen­er­a­tional cel­eb­ra­tion.
