VersAbility Resources invites local businesses and community members to support the 2022 Ability Am Golf Tournament, one of the nonprofit’s signature fundraisers.

Proceeds from this spring’s event will support VersAbility Employment Programs that continue to help people with disabilities get back to work during the ongoing pandemic. VersAbility’s newest employment program, Future of Work, provides wraparound support services to facilitate people with disabilities successfully completing certification, training and apprenticeship programs to expand their career opportunities in high-demand industries.

VersAbility serves more than 1,700 individuals with disabilities and their families.

The tournament will be held on May 19 at Cedar Point Country Club in Suffolk. VersAbility is seeking sponsors at all levels and encouraging recreational golfers to register for the best-ball tournament.

Use of the driving range and a pre-tournament lunch begin at 11 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 1 p.m. A cocktail reception and awards dinner will follow at 5:30 p.m.

Individual golfer registrations are $165. Foursomes can register for $650.

VersAbility Resources raised more than $87,000 at its 2021 golf tournament held on Oct. 14, 2021. The charity event was the first in-person fundraiser since the start of COVID-19 held by the nonprofit that serves community members and their families affected by disabilities.
