How LEGOLAND® Golf Days Created $180,000 Worth of Smiles and Magic

Golf and magic might sound like an unlikely match, but when you add community, generosity, and a sprinkle of LEGOLAND® fun, something amazing happens. The recent Merlin’s Magic Wand Golf Days at LEGOLAND® Resorts in California, New York, and Florida weren’t just about perfect swings or long drives - they were about people coming together to create magical experiences for children who need it most.

Last week marked the end of our U.S. Golf Outings, and hearts are full. Across three events, our teams, sponsors, and golfers joined forces to raise more than $180,000, creating over 36,000 magical experiences for children across the country. That’s 36,000 moments of laughter, confidence, and pure play for children who face illness, disability, or hardship.

Each event was so much more than a day on the course. It was a celebration of generosity, teamwork, and the power of play. Between friendly competition, lively auctions, and those spontaneous moments of giving that make you believe in people all over again, the energy was contagious. You could feel that every swing mattered - and not just for the scorecard.

That kind of impact doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of passionate people and dedicated partners. A huge thank you goes to our incredible teams at LEGOLAND® California, New York, and Florida Resorts, who went above and beyond to host these inspiring events. Their creativity, organization, and enthusiasm turned each outing into a celebration of play, purpose, and possibility.

And to our sponsors, donors, and participants, you didn’t just show up. You showed heart. Every dollar raised helps Merlin’s Magic Wand Foundation give children the chance to forget their everyday challenges and make memories that last a lifetime.

Across all three resorts, one message stood out: Together, we create magic that lasts far beyond the course. These Golf Days reminded us that generosity can be fun, kindness can be competitive, and play can have a real purpose.

You can help create even more magical experiences for children who need them most. Your donation to Merlin’s Magic Wand Foundation brings joy, connection, and unforgettable memories to kids facing illness, disability, or hardship.
