Those who sign up from now until June 1 will receive a $25 discount
off to play in the C. Louis Meyer Rehabilitation Foundation, Inc. June
3 Tee-Up for Disabilities Golf Tournament at the Tregaron Golf Course in
Bellevue, 13909 Glengarry Circle.
Individuals, twosomes and foursomes can sign up for the best ball, 18-hole
tournament. Cost for the tournament has been discounted to $75 per person,
which includes hole prizes, door prizes, raffle, refreshment cart and dinner.
Prize for hole-in-one will be a car from McMullen Ford. Omaha golf legend,
Susan Marchese, and Professional Golf Association teaching pro Steve Hogan,
will be hosting golf clinics before the tournament.
Proceeds from the tournament will benefit the Adult Evening Respite
and Habilitation Program at Munroe-Meyer Institute (MMI), which is located
on the University of Nebraska Medical Center campus. Held in the spring
and fall, the program and run by volunteers, the program provides respite
care for families and caregivers of adults with disabilities. Those who
benefit include those with developmental disabilities, autism, cerebral
palsy, Downs Syndrome, spina bifida and genetic disorders. Activities
include swimming, arts and crafts, music and dance, cooking and community
outings.
The not-for-profit C. Louis Meyer Foundation supports programs at MMI.
For 10 years, the foundation has funded Munroe-Meyer Institute Recreational
Therapy Adult Respite and Habilitation programs. Without these programs,
many parents and caregivers of adults with disabilities would lose their
only source of safe, supervised care for their loved ones.
Registration for the golf tournament will begin at 10:30 a.m. followed
by a clinic at 11 a.m. and shotgun start at noon.
