Money raised will support a sports camp in Du Quoin for limb-different children who are paired with a limb-different coach. The event is expected to bring 200 children and their families to southern Illinois.

NubAbility is a 501(c)3 charity that helps children with limb loss gain confidence and courage through instruction in 22 organized and outdoor sports.

Organizers hope golfers will come out and play a round for a good cause.

Hole in one prizes include a 2022 Ford Mustang provided by Vogler Ford Motor Company of Carbondale and a 2022 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 motorcycle provided by Black Diamond Harley-Davidson of Marion.

“Each year the generosity of local businesses and individuals makes camp possible for limb-different kids from our community and across the country,� said NubAbility founder and executive director Sam Kuhnert. “It is truly amazing how Southern Illinois comes together to give this life changing experience to deserving kids.�

The event is taking place on Sunday, May 15th.
