Recently, Robin Brendza of 100 Women Who Care proudly presented a check for $10,700 to Adaptive Golf Experience (AGE), a local nonprofit dedicated to making the game of golf accessible to individuals with disabilities. The check was accepted by Executive Director Steven Giammona.
Founded 12 years ago, AGE provides individuals with spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, strokes, amputations, severe PTSD, and other complications that limit mobility or access, to outdoor physical activity. While originally established to serve veterans, AGE now proudly supports both veterans and civilians throughout Beaufort County.
Although primarily based on Parris Island, AGE also travels to multiple golf courses in Beaufort County. To do so, the organization must transport many pieces of specialized adaptive equipment along with other equipment and supplies. Thanks to this generous donation from 100 Women Who Care, AGE will be able to purchase a second trailer, significantly expanding its ability to serve participants.
With this contribution, 100 WWC has now donated more than $564,000 to non-profit organizations in northern Beaufort County.
The group’s second-quarter meeting is Tuesday, April14 at First Presbyterian Church Hall in Beaufort. For more information about 100 Women Who Care, www.100wwcbeaufort.org and to learn more about Adaptive Golf Experience, visit www.adaptivegolfexperience.org
