Tournament to benefit South Dade principal Javier Perez set for Saturday
Nearly two years after he was struck by a drunk driver while attending his son’s Little Leauge game at Tamiami Park, the struggle for South Dade principal Javier Perez continues.
Perez, who barely survived the accident but lost both of his legs, along with his family continue to battle the massive medical bills, thus the Second Annual JaviStrong Golf Tournament is set and ready to go.
It will be held Saturday at the Miccosukee Golf and Country Club, 6401 Kendale Lakes Drive. Registration and lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m. with a shotgun tee off start at 1 p.m. An awards reception including hors d’oeuvres will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the clubhouse following play.
Cost is $150 per golfer ($500 team sponsor, $100 hole sponsor) which includes lunch, green fees/cart fees, goody bag, on-course games with beverages and the reception. All proceeds will go to assist Perez with his continuous medical and prosthetics expenses. All sponsorships can be paid via Paypal.me/javistrong.
For more information or to get yourself signed up, call 305-760-9735 or email: Javistrong1@gmail.com.
