South Florida PGA Junior Tour player Cameron Swartz is setting out to play 100 holes of golf to raise money for the South Florida PGA Foundation Smiling Fore Life program. On July 18th, the 16-year-old will play 100 HOLES OF GOLF at Lost City Golf Club in Atlantis, Florida, with a goal of raising 5,000 for Smiling Fore Life. Smiling Fore Life is a South Florida PGA Foundation program that brings PGA Professionals and the game of golf into children’s hospitals to provide children and outlet during a time of struggle. Cameron’s passion to help others stemmed from his brother being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2013. “Every day after school I would come down to Hollywood with my Grandma or Dad to visit Harrison, bringing stories from my day at school, ‘’ he said. “But also, we would play with a Fisher Price golf set in the play area of the pediatric unit.” Once Cameron learned of the Smiling Fore Life program, he knew there was a bigger opportunity to make an impact in the lives of others. “I am an avid golfer and have decided to partner with the South Florida PGA and their Smiling Fore Life Charity to provide young hospital patients an outlet to escape the hardships they are facing,” he said. “The funds I will raise will help to get young kids out of their hospital rooms and out to enjoy a fun and new activity, GOLF!” As of June 30th, Cameron is a quarter of the way to his goal of raising $5,000.
