My friends,

I need your help.

I am raising funds for my Special Olympics East Valley Golf program. We have 35 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 TPC Scottsdale. 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 have been very active in Special Olympics for many years playing baseball, basketball, bowling and my favorite sport "golf". I am a diehard fan of the ASU Sun Devils and go to all of their Baseball, Basketball, and Football games. I am also a hometown fanatic of the Phonix Suns, Arizona Cardinals, and Diamondbacks. At the Phoenix Open Special Olympics Puting Contest I have had the opportunity to meet some of my great local heros like Randy Johnson, Luis Gonzales, Paul Goldschmidt, and Kurt Warner, Besides going to sporting events, I love going to movies, listening to country music , and taking pictures.

How can you help?

The Thunderbirds have given us a great opportunity to raise funds by matching all donations by an additional 10%. 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 love and support for me and Special Olympics.

Brett
