Driving Impact: The 8th Annual Miracles for Kids Golf Invitational Brings Community Together for Families in Need

The 8th Annual Miracles for Kids Golf Invitational, presented by Perricone Farms and Natalie’s, brought together a powerful community of supporters for a meaningful day of golf, connection, and giving back, raising critical funds to support families with critically-ill children. Held on April 13, 2026, at the prestigious Santa Ana Country Club, the event welcomed golfers, sponsors, partners, and volunteers for an elevated experience centered on impact.

Set against one of Orange County’s premier private courses, players began the day receiving gifts including custom G/Fore polos and melin hats, as well as player package opportunities to own the newest in G/Fore golf shoes. Guests enjoyed a full schedule of programming, beginning with morning wellness activations from iFlex, Adapt Sports Medicine, Empowered Elixir, and AuraWell. The day continued with a chipping clinic led by retired PGA Tour Pro Woody Blackburn and a Mega Putt challenge hosted by lady pro Sam Stockton. A thoughtfully curated lineup of on-course activations featuring SoCal favorites such as The Rooftop Bar and The Stand, rounded out by high end brands Codigo Tequila and Weber Ranch Vodka, kept the players energized and the pace moving. Interactive golf challenges and three highly valued hole-in-one prize opportunities, including a Rolex from Happy Jewelers, foursome at Pebble Beach with private air, and a 3-year lease on a Fletcher Jones 2026 Mercedes Benz sedan kept players focused. The day culminated in a $1,000,000 shoot out and championship-style Derby finale, giving winners the chance to take home custom sport coats and athleisure designed by Championship Sponsor David August.

Signature moments throughout the day included curated food and beverage experiences from Perricone Farms and Natalie’s, appearances by the Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders, and high-energy on-course engagement designed to inspire and connect participants to the mission.

“It was an incredible day filled with purpose, generosity, and community,” said Autumn Strier, Co-Founder and CEO of Miracles for Kids. “We are deeply grateful to every supporter who showed up to make a difference. The funds raised will support families facing the unimaginable challenges of caring for a critically-ill child.”
