Each summer, the Friends of the Waisman Center hosts an annual golf benefit. This important fundraiser provides support for a broad range of projects and activities that
benefit individuals and families living with developmental disabilities, such as autism and Down syndrome, and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Spend the day with Friends FORE a good cause! Join us on Monday, August 5 at Maple Bluff Country Club for a great day of golf to benefit the Waisman Center. Lunch is available at 11:00 a.m. with a noon start to golf. The afternoon ends with dinner and brief awards to round out the evening by 6:00 p.m.
Together FORE Waisman! Everyone knows someone touched by an intellectual and developmental disability or a neurodegenerative disease. Enjoy an afternoon doing
something you love to benefit this special community. Your partnership is integral to our success and has helped the Friends raise close to $800,000 since 1992. The proceeds from this signature event help fund a broad range of Waisman clinical services, training, outreach, and research programs. There are many sponsorship opportunities, both on and off the course, which are detailed on the enclosed registration form. Help us fill the tee sheet so that we know that we are maximizing the benefit to individuals with disabilities and their families. Help spread the word so we can increase the work of the Waisman Center in our community.
We hope you will partner with us in transforming lives and building brighter futures
