Troon partners with Els for Autism® for World Autism Month
Scottsdale, Ariz. (April 3, 2023) – April is World Autism Month and Troon® has partnered with Els for Autism to raise funds and autism awareness worldwide. Golfers playing Troon-affiliated courses in April are encouraged to donate the dollar amount of their score to Els for Autism in support of this special initiative, which will help transform the lives of people with autism and those who care for them. For example, if a golfer shoots an 80 during their round, they are encouraged to donate $80 to Els for Autism.
For every score donated, the donor will be entered into a drawing to win a two-night stay at The Breakers Palm Beach in Florida and participate in the Els for Autism Grand Finale. The Grand Finale is a two-day extravaganza of golf and entertainment hosted by Ernie and Liezl Els set for October 30 – November 1, 2023 at The Breakers Palm Beach. Two winners, plus their choice of one guest each, will be awarded on May 1, 2023 and will receive:
- Entry for one golfing guest and one non-golfing guest (airfare/transportation not included)
- Attendance at the Welcome Party on October 30
- Attendance at the Awards Ceremony and Gala Celebration on October 31
- Entry to Grand Finale golf tournament for golfing guest only during your stay
- 2 nights complimentary accommodation at The Breakers Palm Beach from October 30 – November 1, 2023
- Gift Bag for each golfing guest
