NSSRA Foundation’s SWING Golf Outing Raises
Over $50,000 to Benefit NSSRA Programs & Services
Over $50,000 was raised at NSSRA Foundation’s annual SWING Golf
Outing, held at Winnetka Golf Club on Friday, September 14. These funds
will provide scholarships for children, teens and adults with disabilities
who participate in NSSRA’s year-round recreation activities and will
additionally assist NSSRA in purchasing accessible vehicles. Presenting
sponsors included La Chapelle Family Foundation and Leahy Family
Foundation.
Matt La Chapelle, a long-time NSSRA participant and the “Celebrity Golfer“
for the day, thanked all in attendance and said, “All the staff members
have been a great role model for me and for all of us.” He continued, “I’m
glad that people like me who have a disability can participate with others.
I’m glad to be alive. If I didn’t have this I would not live, but I do live and
I’m here with a great staff who know who I am and they know what it
takes to be a role model.”
“Matt and so many participants like him are the reason NSSRA exists,
and in turn why the work of NSSRA Foundation to provide additional
opportunities for our participants is so key,” said NSSRA Executive
Director Craig Culp. “We appreciate all the golfers, sponsors and donors
who came out to support NSSRA participants, not just this year, but many
of them year after year.” Culp continued, “Once again we had a sold out
event, perfect weather and a great group of people who spent their Friday
championing NSSRA. We couldn’t ask for anything better.”
Thank you to our generous sponsors and donors!
