Shore Acres Country Club
We held our inaugural Paws for Patrick golf outing, which took place on September 18, 2023, at the stunning and award-winning Shoreacres Country Club. It was a delightful day on the greens with 124 golfers, 166 guests, and numerous opportunities to win fantastic prizes throughout the event. We raised over $200,000 during the event which will enable us to help an additional 200 young people with Emotional Support Animals and Therapy Dogs to assist them in coping with mental illness. Additionally, it will help us raise awareness of the alarming increase in young people struggling with mental health.
