By: LuMind Foundation Hayes Mechanical (http://www.hayesmechanical.com/ “If we can raise the cognition of a person with Down syndrome by 15%, it can make such a difference in that person’s life. Improved cognition can mean attending the public school near home, making friends more easily, going to college and getting a job – offering opportunities for more independence,” The golf outing begins with a 10:00 am shotgun start and ends with awards and buffet at 3:00 pm. Participants will be able to enter various competitions held in conjunction with the tournament for prizes, including longest drive and closest to the pin contests.
