Everyone will be chipping in for charity at a special fundraiser in Monash.

Glen Waverley Public Golf Course is set to be packed out for the Charity Golf Day, which will raise money for the Cerebral Palsy Education Centre next weekend.

The day is organised and run by the Vermont, Croydon and Warrandyte Lions Clubs, who have been in charge of the successful event for a decade.

Centre spokeswoman Robyne Somerville said money raised went to the equipment library, which benefited every child attending the centre.

“Our families are having a lot of trouble accessing life changing equipment and we are so very lucky to have community support of groups like the Lions,” she said.

“The equipment library enables families to access the right equipment when their child needs it.

“At the moment the wait time has blown out to 18 months, which is unacceptable for children who have severe disabilities.”

Money raised at the golf day will go towards buying walkers, wheelchairs and bathing chairs. Chief news presenter of Nine News Melbourne Peter Hitchener will return to host, play and auctioneer the event.

The event will run from 7am to 2.30pm on Sunday, March 3 at Glen Waverley Public Golf Course.

More than 100 players have registered, but more are always wanted.
