Family Fun Night, Community Celebration, and Historic Golf Marathon to Raise Funds for LIVE2540 Children’s Healthcare Programs

Local golfer Mike Woodard will attempt to break the current world record for the longest continuous game of golf, playing for more than 37 consecutive hours to raise awareness and funds for life-saving children’s healthcare programs in Liberia. Hosted by LIVE2540, a Georgia-based nonprofit providing healthcare access to vulnerable children in West Africa, “The Record” aims to raise $150,000 to support treatment for children suffering from malaria, typhoid, dysentery, malnutrition, and other preventable illnesses. The event will kick off with a community Family Fun Night featuring live music, family activities, games, food, and opening remarks before Woodard begins his historic attempt.

WHY IT MATTERS:
While this event centers around a world-record golf attempt, the mission extends far beyond the course. According to LIVE2540, just $38 can provide healthcare for a child suffering from common but potentially life-threatening illnesses. Through local partnerships and healthcare initiatives in Liberia, the organization has helped provide medical care to more than 25,000 children and delivered over one million malnutrition supplements. The event seeks to raise awareness about the global healthcare crisis facing children in underserved communities while inspiring local residents to become part of the solution.
