BE A WINNER AND SUPPORT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES BY PLAYING GOLF IN THE 14TH ANNUAL SWINGING FORE THE ARC GOLF TOURNAMENT

Palm City, FL. – Grab your 9 iron and ‘driver’ yourself to the 14th Annual Swinging Fore the ARC Golf Tournament and a weekend of fun on the links. All events will be held at the Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club Clubhouse in Palm City and proceeds go to ARC of the Treasure Coast.

Players will enjoy a pre-event Cocktail Par-tee on Friday, Sept. 23rd at 6 p.m. The par-tee is open to the public and non-golfers to attend. On Saturday, Sept. 24th, late registration and breakfast are scheduled for 7:30 a.m. followed by a Four Person Scramble Golf Tournament starting at 9 a.m. There will be a gourmet BBQ awards luncheon, auction, and raffles following the tournament. Sponsorships range from $700 to $10,000. They include everything from golf entries and gift bags to tee signs and tickets to the cocktail party and awards banquet. It all depends on the ‘slice’ of the sponsorship you choose to ‘hook’. Mulligans allowed! Events like this help to fund the services provided by ARC of the Treasure Coast. A primary initiative is expanding programs to unserved/underserved areas in Port St. Lucie where families cannot access vital day programs and afterschool programs. Initial outreach efforts will include opening a new educational program for youth and young adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) known as the Therapeutic Intervention Program(TIP).

Participants in the TIP program exhibit severe maladaptive behaviors and are unable to participate in mainstream classrooms and day programs. Funds raised will be used to build a specialized therapeutic environment that has an impact across various intervention disciplines and sensory stimulations. TIP is a unique collaboration encompassing six professional disciplines - behavioral, physical, occupational, speech, recreation, and music therapies. The ARC of the Treasure Coast is committed to building this specialized sensory intervention program that will provide access to critical programs for many local families. We thank you for your support!

We Look Forward to Another Great Year! Hope to See You on the Green!
