Shot-Online Host Golf Tournament For Children’s Hospitals Charity
Posted by admin in Game Retail Store
Online game publisher GamesCampus teamed up with Children’s Miracle Network to host “Shot-Online For Miracles”, an online golf tournament taking place on golf simulation Shot-Online, benefiting the charity and its 170 supported children’s hospitals across the country.
The virtual tournament, which begins November 10th, mirrors a real-life tournament that the Children’s Miracle Network holds each year for the past 39 years. Several professional and celebrity golfers will participate in the PGA Tour’s 2009 Children’s Miracle Network Classic on Disney World’s Palm and Magnolia Golf Courses.
Gamers pay a $5 entrance fee to take part in the Shot-Online tournament and have a chance to win the Grand Prize comprised of a signed pin flag from the real-life Children’s Miracle Network Classic winner, a Children’s Miracle Network Classic Ogio golf bag, and four passes to Disney World. The second-place winner receives a Children’s Miracle Network polo shirt, hat, balls, and four passes to Disney world; and the third-place winner grabs a shirt, a hat, and balls.
The Children’s Miracle Network is a non-profit organization seeking to help sick and injured children. Working with other individuals and organizations, the charity uses its donations to fund medical care, research and education, and improving the lives of some 17 million kids each year.
“We are honored to partner with Children’s Miracle Network on this exciting tournament,” says GamesCampus Marketing and Business Development EVP David Chang. “It is wonderful to work with such a fantastic charity that helps so many children and families. Shot-Online players have been very supportive when we have held tournaments in the past for other great causes, but the “Shot-Online For Miracles” tournament will be our community’s biggest charitable effort yet.”
