Calling all area golfers to LEAP’s fourth annual Golf Tournament and Silent Auction at the Sandy River Golf Course in Farmington Falls on Saturday, August 21.
LEAP, Inc. is a private non-profit agency that serves people with cognitive and intellectual disabilities in Western and Central Maine through a variety of community and residential supports. All proceeds from the tournament and auction will go to support LEAP consumers’ non-Medicaid covered expenses within the agency. Although there is Medicaid support from the state to keep people healthy and safe, there are scarce resources to assist people to participate in and enjoy life in our community.
Registration begins at 11 a.m. Tee-off time is at 1 p.m. with a barbecue afterward. The silent auction includes art work, autographed Seth Wescott posters, gift certificates to local businesses and many other valuable items. The cost is $35 for a single golfer and $120 for a team of four. The tournament is limited to 72 golfers and advanced registration is available. Tee-shirts will be available for the first 50 registrants. The lead sponsors for LEAP’s Tournament are once again Kyes Insurance and Bangor Savings Bank.
LEAP supports people in small community homes, their own apartments, those living with their families, and also in a small respite program, which is partially supported through Tri-Valley United Way pledges. LEAP’s mission is to support people with disabilities to lead joyful lives with dignity, independence and autonomy through offering local supports that nourish relationships and help people to be close to their families and friends.
