Yes U Can USA Paralympic Sport Delaware will hold the Yes U Can USA Golf Classic on Monday, July 21, 2014, at the DuPont Country Club, in Wilmington, Delaware.
The tournament will be played on the signature championship DuPont Course, formerly the home course for the LPGA/McDonald’s Championship. Tournament games will include closest to the pin, longest drive, mulligans for sale, and rent-the-pro for your tee shot.
Special guests will include former NFL player Kevin Reilly, a cancer survivor, amputee, and motivational speaker, as well as Steven Stanhope, director of the BADER Consortium at the University of Delaware, which brings together experts from across the country to establish evidence-based orthopedic rehabilitation for wounded warriors.
“We want to emphasize that this event offers something for everyone—golfers and non-golfers, amputees and non-amputees,” says Yes U Can co-founder Vickie George. “Those who don’t want to play golf can join us for the dinner and auction. Another great non-golf activity is ‘Putt & Pinot on the Green-gio,’ which is being organized by Lisa Ramone.”
The event will also include a classic car show, instruction by LPGA professional Rebecca Dengler, and adapted golf instruction by Bob Buck, founder and executive director of the EAGA.
Player registration fees are $125 for EAGA members and $150 for others. Fees include golf, driving range, gift bag, lunch, beverages and dinner.
Sponsor opportunities are available at all levels from gifts for the silent auction to title sponsorship.
