During the month of April, Arcis Golf, the second largest owner-operator of private, resort, and daily fee golf clubs in the U.S., launched a nationwide campaign at 60 Arcis Golf clubs to raise funds for the Els for Autism Foundation. The “Arcis Round Up 4 Els for Autism” campaign encouraged members, guests, and patrons to “round up” to the nearest dollar on merchandise, food & beverage, or golf purchases as a donation to the Els for Autism Foundation. Fourteen of the Arcis Golf clubs reached the $1,000+ fundraising goal. The top five clubs were:
- Arrowhead Golf Club, Littleton, Colorado
- Ancala Country Club, Scottsdale, Arizona
- Weston Hills Country Club, Weston, Florida
- Superstition Springs Golf Club, Mesa, Arizona
- The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge, Snoqualmie, Washington
“We thank Arcis Golf for partnering with us during April Autism Awareness Month,” Ernie Els said. “We are amazed by the results and sincerely thank everyone who participated.”
Additional contributions will be accepted through September 2019. Clubs or individuals raising or donating $15,000 or more will be invited to send a two-person team to play in the Els for Autism Golf Challenge Grand Finale event in mid-October.
