St. Louis Arc’s Autism Invitational took place at Boone Valley Golf Club, Monday, August 24, 2015. Boone Valley Golf Club is located at 1319 Schluersburg Road, Augusta, Missouri. The event, hosted by co-charis Tom Caruso and Dan Kelley, along with tournament chairwoman JoAnn Kindle, raised money for the St. Louis Arc’s programs for children and adults with autism.
Golfers enjoyed lunch and 18 holes of magnificent golf on this scenic course nestled in the hills of Augusta. The weather cooperated, producing a perfect climate, a decent breeze and barely a cloud in the sky. At 5 o’clock the premium bar opened with a dinner and awards ceremony. Overall, what a spectacular day for a tournament that benefited such a worthy cause!
St. Louis Arc’s mission is empowering people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families to lead better lives by providing a lifetime of high-quality services, family support and advocacy.
