The event will fund many initiatives, including:

• Special education summer programming

• Respect Day
• The purchase of a reliable van for afterschool and weekend job coaching.
• Items on teacher wish lists.

The golf outing begins with registration (8 a.m.) and a shot gun start at 9 a.m. Lunch will be served at 1:30 p.m., when there will also be raffles and prize giveaways.

Golf and lunch costs $85 per person or $340 per team. The cost is $35 for those who don’t want to golf but wish to eat lunch.
