Special Olympics Texas and its chapters across the state just staged the Unified Fore Joy ProAm.
Partnering with Topgolf, the fundraiser ranks as the world’s largest single day of unified golf.
The event pairs Special Olympics athletes with corporations, community groups, police and other allies for a day of swing and inclusion.
Organizers rolled out nine separate tournaments throughout Texas.
In San Antonio on Friday, 27 athletes joined forces with 12 companies.
Chad Eason, South Region executive director for Special Olympics Texas, called the gathering profoundly meaningful.
He noted that linking athletes with everyday workplaces offers real job prospects, and for my money, that community‑business bridge is the most powerful outcome of the day.
Proceeds will fund local Special Olympics participants and their programs.
