2019 Ability Am Golf Tournament
On May 30, thirty-two teams of golfers teed off during VersAbility’s annual Ability Am Golf Tournament. Proceeds from this year’s event support VersAbility’s On-Site Employment program. This program helps individuals with disabilities receive the supports they need to thrive within the workplace. This event also benefitted 17 people with disabilities who have zero funding for employment supports, including one gentleman who has been working for VersAbility for 52 years!
VersAbility would like to thank our generous sponsors and golfers who helped make this year our best yet! This year’s presenting sponsor was Pivot Physical Therapy. The 2019 Ability Am Golf Tournament brought in over $95,000 this year and that kind of success would not be possible if it weren’t for our sponsors, golfers, Cedar Point Country Club staff, and VersAbility staff and volunteers. Because of all of you, this year was record breaking!
We look forward to another great tournament next year!
