PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- The PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Fla., is hosting the "Second Annual Summer Solstice Golf Extravaganza" fundraising event on Saturday, June 27, where golfers can play as many as 54 holes on three Championship courses by Tom Fazio and Pete Dye in just one day. New for this year, they can also opt to play either 36 holes or 18 holes as well.

A portion of all entry fees, as well as all raffle proceeds, will serve as a fundraiser for Madison Guth, 8, who is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, in order to help fund her annual rehabilitative trip to "swim with the dolphins" and participate in the therapeutic programs at Island Dolphin Care in Key Largo, Fla. These activities help enable Madison to build her sensory input skills.

To kick off the Summer Solstice event, the PGA Golf Club will present Madison and her family a specially refurbished golf car during a ceremony tomorrow, Wed. June 17, at 3 p.m., at the PGA Golf Clubhouse, 1916 Perfect Dr., Port St. Lucie., as one of her favorite activities is to ride in a golf car. Madison is primarily non-verbal in her communication skills, but she has an augmentative device enabling her to request, participate and interact with others.

"It is an honor to host the second annual Summer Solstice Golf Extravaganza at PGA Golf Club in support of Madison Guth and her family's expenses of therapy and rehabilitation in the battle against Autism, as well as present them with a very special golf car for her to enjoy," said Bob Baldassari, PGA general manager for PGA Village, which encompasses the PGA Golf Club, PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance and PGA Historical Center. "Golfers will get a big kick out of the challenge of playing up to 54 holes of golf at one of America's Top 50 golf courses in just one day, while raising money for this very worthy cause."

Box lunches will be provided during the Summer Solstice golf event. In addition, a reception with prizes and hors d'voures will be held following the fun-filled day of golf.
