New Year, New Event

January 15, 2026 By Pam Pulizzi

“I’d like to do an event here in Florida.“

When you pour your heart and soul into a nonprofit like my family has, words like those above definitely bring tears to your eyes. Truly wonderful when other people want to become so involved in your passion project.

We have run the Golf for Autism here in Cleveland for 20 years. And we’re excited now to have Florida south. 

Board member, Michael (Mike) Balzano, and his wife, Darlene, reside in the Naples area and love to golf! Mike is actually the mastermind behind our 100 Holes of Golf event started during covid.

So here’s the New Year’s ask… Who do you know that lives in Florida and likes to golf? Can you pass this post along to them so we can continue to fund the children that reach out to us for speech therapy?

Learn more about Golf for Autism “South” here!
