2018 Schepisi Communications Golf Day – Melbourne

The annual Schepisi Communications Charity Golf Day was held in Melbourne on the 19th of October, 2018. With the temperature hitting 27 degrees, Huntingdale was the perfect setting for a day of golf and fundraising for our participating 62 players.

With event sponsorship, ticket sales, raffle, auctions and Distraction Box Sponsorship all considered, over $30,000 was raised on the day – just incredible! That means that we can assist 60 families with practical support during times of financial or emotional crisis; alternatively, our Distraction Boxes can provide distraction and guidance during 27,000 procedures across the country. 

The event wouldn’t have been possible without the contributions of many committed people. Special thanks to Ben Giblett, Andrew Schepisi and Lisa Longaretti from Schepisi Communications, as well as the TLC for Kids Events Team, for dedicating themselves to the event, and to Huntingdale Golf Club for hosting us. We would also like to thank our MC Justin Smith and special guests Matthew Butcher and Mark Orval (‘Angry Dad’) for speaking on the day.

Sponsorship is a vital part of the Schepisi Communications Charity Golf Days, and this year was no exception. Special thanks to major sponsor Aria Technologies, our Hole in One Sponsor Mercedes-Benz Brighton, and Hole Sponsors Brightstar, CLAAS Harvest Centre, Commonwealth Bank, Cube Networks, Keller, Lifesize, MONJON, Schepisi Communications, and Telstra.

We would also like to give special mention to the following individuals and organisations who, by sponsoring Distraction Boxes, have invested in the well being of sick kids undergoing traumatic procedures:

  • Tim Jenkinson
  • Andrew Schepisi
  • Samuel Py
  • Ben Giblett
  • Sam Skilbeck (Auto Motor Group)
  • Scott Mannix
  • Nick Kirtley

Their generosity on the day will help thousands of sick children overcome pain and fear during procedures, reducing anxiety, turnaround times, and the need for sedation.

Congratulations are also in order for Keller’s winning team, who have earned themselves a trip to the Schepisi Communications Sydney Golf Day in August 2019.

Thank you once again to all those who participated in the event. Please enjoy the photo gallery below.
