Lanz Ang is realising his dream to play golf at a high level, representing Australia on the world stage. We are delighted to have met Lanz through our Youth Grant program and to have supported him in furthering his golfing skills.
With his 2021 Youth Grant, Lanz Ang was able to purchase to new golfing equipment as he prepares to represent Australia in the World Deaf Golfing Championships in October 2022 – which will be occurring in Lihue, Hawaii.
“In joining this tournament, it gives me the courage and self confidence in meeting different kinds of people,” Lanz said. “When I joined Deaf Golf Victoria as one of their members, they gave me confidence that I can still do what other people can do.”
Now, his mother Luz has supported us by nominating us for a Crown Resorts Foundation Community Grant! Thank you Luz and Lanz.
“Deaf Children Australia is a non-profit organisation that is so dear to me because my son is
deaf,” said Luz.
“DCA gives our children an opportunity to develop their skills to build their confidence and connect with community. I nominated them… so that they can help more families like ours.”
Due to Luz’s successful nomination, Deaf Children Australia received a $5000 Community Grant – helping
us to continue our work supporting deaf and hard of hearing young people to reach their full potential. We are incredibly thankful for her nomination!
As Lanz now prepares to travel to Hawaii for the Deaf Golfing Championships in October, we received a wonderful note about his progress:
