My friends,

I need your help.

I am raising funds for my Special Olympics East Valley Golf program. We have 32 Special Olympics golfers that have a passion for playing golf. Each athlete plays on a team, typically with a parent or good friend, year round at many challenging courses in Arizona. This year we will be playing at Sun City CC, Omni National in Tucson, Antelope Hills in Prescott, Longbow in Mesa, Oak Creek CC in Sedona, Augusta Ranch in Mesa, and Whirlwind in Chandler. All of the funds raised will go to support this special year round golf program. These funds also enable us to participate in the Special Olympics National Invitational Golf Tournament if we are lucky enough to be selected. The National Tournament is 3 days and, like the PGA, we cannot use golf carts. So it can be very challenging.

I am 27 years old and live in Goodyear, Arizona. I have been involved with Special Olympics for 20 years in a wide variety of year round sports. I currently work at Safeway and serve as a Global Ambassador for Special Olympics Arizona. I am slso a National Health Messenger and an Athlete Leader for SOAZ at many events helping athletes and the Special Olympics organization. I have a heart for service, love people,  and helping others..

How can you help?

The Thunderbirds have given us a great opportunity to raise funds by matching all donations by an additional 15%. One hundred percent of the funds stay in our Special Olympics golf program and enable us to continue to play golf and improve our game. Your help comes from sponsoring me with a one time donation, or  a Pledge per Birdie for the 4 days of the Tournament.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Ronny
