The Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation hosts a number of family activities around Woodbridge to raise money and awareness of a pediatric brain condition.
Skyline Mini-Golf had a line full of families on Saturday morning during an event meant to raise awareness of a childhood brain condition.
The Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation was founded by Woodbridge residents Michael and Kim Illions in 2009, after their son, Cole, was diagnosed with the brain condition.
The foundation has since grown to include 35 state chapters and one in Africa, according to the Illions.
Proceeds from the event came from 16 hole sponsorships on behalf of Woodbridge businesses and individuals, including Mayor John McCormac and Assemblyman Craig Coughlin, Michael llions said.
The “family fun” event was intended to raise awareness among participants, who were charged the same rate as Skyline Mini-Golf charges at any other time, he said.
The Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation’s next event will be a spaghetti dinner from 2-6 p.m. Nov. 3 at the Edison Elks, 375 Old Post Road in Edison. Tickets are $12 for adults and teenagers, $6 for children ages 5-12 and free for children ages 4 and younger. A 50/50 raffle, silent auction and basket raffle will be held.
