Phoenix, Arizona – Daphne’s Headcovers, the original headcover company, pledged to continue their support of the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (USA) through a donation of a portion of sales proceeds of their popular Monkey Made of Sockies golf headcover. The delightful headcover is carried by LPGA touring professional, Leta Lindley who will host a golf tournament to support the same charity.
Daphne’s wildly successful new headcover, Monkey Made of Sockies, which is also carried by Jennifer Rosales and Jill McGill, is the common thread that binds Daphne’s Headcovers, Lindley, Shannon Grissom, the creator of the Monkey Made of Sockies character, and PWSA (USA) together. A portion of sales proceeds through each of the group’s websites go to provide desperately needed funds to fight PWS. PWSA funds research provides education, and offers help to enhance the quality of life for those affected by Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).
PWS is a complex birth defect typically causing low muscle tone, short stature, incomplete sexual development, and a chronic feeling of hunger. Coupled with a metabolism that utilizes drastically fewer calories than normal, this can lead to excessive eating and life-threatening obesity, among many medical and developmental issues.
“We’re thrilled to do our part to help enhance the lives of young children affected by PWS,” explained Spicer. “It’s gratifying to be involved with people who give from the heart like Leta Lindley and Shannon Grissom.”
Lindley will host the second Leta Lindley Prader-Willi Classic golf tournament that will feature a number of her friends from the LPGA Tour. It will be held on December 7th at the PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens Florida. “As the mother of two children, I couldn’t help but feel a connection to children in need,” Lindley revealed. “I have always wanted to use my golf talents to make a difference and I never imagined that opportunity would present itself in this way.”
Craig Polhemus, executive director of PWSA (USA), said “Each purchase of this adorable Monkey Made of Sockies golf club head cover will help support the vital work Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (USA) does for thousands affected by Prader-Willi syndrome. We are pleased to have this avenue to raise awareness about and funds for PWS and grateful to Daphne’s Headcovers for caring about our loved ones with the syndrome.”
