"Join us on a great day of golf and supporting our cause - giving kids a helping hand and a leg to stand on," said Sean Laukhuff, inviting people to the third annual Iron-Leg Corp. Golf Outing.

The event will be held on Saturday, Sept. 16, at Four Seasons Golf Club, 949 Church St., Landisville. Registration will begin at 7 a.m., and the tournament will kick off with a shotgun start at 8 a.m.

Tickets will include the use of a golf cart, green fees, non-alcoholic beverages and lunch. There will also be a silent auction, giveaways and ceremonies, including an honor guard flag folding.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams, as well as for the longest drive and closest to the pin.

Iron-Leg formed in 2020 when Matt Millhouse and Manheim resident Laukhuff were looking for a way to help children in central Pennsylvania who need prosthetics. Millhouse's son, Parker, was born without his right leg, and the organization was started in his honor.

"Since we've started Iron-Leg, great things have been happening," Laukhuff said. "We have gotten a hand for a kid, and just four months ago, we got our first leg for a local kid from Lititz." Iron-Leg helps raise money for high-end prosthetics, which are costly and not typically covered by insurance. Funds raised by the organization are also used to help recipients receive therapy to learn how to use the prosthetics.

Laukhuff noted that Joseph, the boy who recently received a new leg, will be at the golf outing. "He can do all the things right now that his peers can, and he can do the normal activities most kids can," Laukhuff remarked.

In addition to raising funds, the golf outing is held as a memorial to honor the people who lost their lives in the Sept. 11 attacks.

"We raise a 38-by-22-foot flag suspended by two cranes a total of 138 feet in the air while bagpipes are played," Laukhuff shared, adding that an honor guard will do a ceremonial flag folding while a bugle is played at the end of the event.

Items up for grabs at the auction will include a set of golf clubs; a $1,000 gift card; Omaha Steaks for a year; and more. A banquet dinner will held after the tournament at Blue Collar Restaurant, Bar & Catering at Four Seasons Golf Club.

Laukhuff emphasized that Iron-Leg would not be able to fulfill its mission without the support from the community. He noted that prosthetic limb can cost anywhere from $5,000 to upward of $50,000. This year, the organization was chosen by Moose International from nonprofits throughout Pennsylvania as the recipient of its springtime donations. "We received $13,665," Laukhuff said.
