Ability360 Charity Golf Tournament Kicks Off 5TH Anniversary for Nationally Acclaimed Ability360 Sports & Fitness Center

PHOENIX, Ariz. (June 1, 2016):  Ability360 Sports & Fitness Center will kick off its 5th anniversary celebration with the 360 Charity Golf Tournament – a best-ball tournament with a twist – with an 8 a.m. shotgun start on Friday, Sept. 23 at the Longbow Golf Club, 5601 E. Longbow Parkway in Mesa.

Proceeds will benefit the nonprofit Ability360 Sports & Fitness Center.

The twist: each foursome will include a member of the Ability360 staff, both disabled and able-bodied, to talk about the importance and value of inclusion in sports and Ability360’s role in providing resources and expertise to help achieve health and fitness goals.  Several members of the Ability360 staff are avid and regular golfers who have adapted their disabilities to be able to play the game.

The $200 cost per golfer for the 360 Charity Golf tournament includes greens fees, golf cart, range balls, tee gifts and a post event reception, which will include a helicopter ball drop for first, second and third place prizes. Event and hole sponsorship opportunities are currently available.
