, 2019 at Ridgewood Country Club in Danbury, CT.
The competition is one of Ability Beyond’s largest fundraisers, attracting over 120 golfers each year. Proceeds will help Ability Beyond provide critical supports – including home care and job training – to more than 3,000 people with disabilities in Connecticut and New York.
A round robin tennis tournament was added to last year’s charity event and became an instant hit with more than 20 players. Mt. Kisco Truck and Auto Parts is once again serving as the tennis sponsor.
“Last year’s event raised over $90,000 and we are very optimistic that we can surpass our goal as more supporters can enjoy a day of ball for all,” said Jim Kennedy, Ability Beyond Board of Director Vice Chairman and Chair of Golf Event Committee. “In addition to having a great time on the links or on the court, participants will be helping Ability Beyond empower every person, no matter their ability, to live, work and thrive as members of their community.”
The cost is $350 for an individual golfer and $1,400 for a foursome. Registration for the tennis tournament is $175. Deadline is September 12, 2019 and everyone can register online at https://ABGolf2019.givesmart.com. Those who are unable to attend but still want to support the organization can also donate through the website.
After a day of play, attendees will enjoy a silent auction with fantastic items and a live auction featuring coveted prizes like a Hudson National Golf Club package at the private golf club located in Westchester County, New York and many more! Opportunities to win on the course include two chances to win a car with TWO hole-in-one sponsored by Colonial Automobile Group of Danbury and Ingersoll Auto of Danbury and awards for closest-to-the-pins and longest drive.
