⛳️The Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland Annual Charity Golf Classic 2026⛳️

We are so pleased to let you know that this year's Annual Golf Classic which took place on August 14th in Palmerstown House successfully raised €5705.33!

A massive thank you to so many who were involved in making this event a successful fundraiser which helps us to continue providing life saving supports and services to those in Ireland living with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus.

We would like to thank:

🏌️ Our Flagship Sponsors: Orchard Print ( https://www.orchardprint.com/ ) and Finn and Co ( https://www.finnandco.ie/ ) who so kindly not only contributed to the costs of the event but also supplied our fabulous goody bags and reusable coffee cups for each attendee!
🏌️John from Rosgal Ltd. who provided us with an absolutely incredible prize for our raffle - which was won by a very happy man! We will share pictures of the winners at the event once the match is played.
🏌️ All our golfers- we had over 60 golfers who all played exceptional and without them there would be no Golf Classic! Great to have a lovely mix of familiar faces alongside new ones.
🏌️Niall at FYREFLI and also Dooley Insurances who sponsored tee boxes on the day- these two companies are long-time 'Friends of SBHI' and we are so grateful for their continued support.
🏌️Peter Landy- who is always there on the day, and in the leadup, doing incredible work to ensure the event is a success.

And to all who done something as simple as sharing a post, buying a raffle ticket, mentioning the classic to a friend etc. Word of mouth is essential at building this annual event and we appreciate and effort to help its growth, big or small!

A huge thank you also to Ricardo- our volunteer photographer for the day. He shot incredible photographs - all of which can be viewed on our website here: https://sbhi.ie/gallery/annual-sbhi-charity-golf-classic-2026/ It is great to have these memories captured. Thank you so much Ricardo!

Next year's Annual Charity Golf Classic has already been secured for Friday, the 13th of August - returning to the amazing Palmerstown House! We hope to see you there!

Thank you again to all who supported this fundraiser. 💙🧡
