The Anderson Golf Classic is among several events hosted by the nonprofit organization each year that are designed to raise funds and awareness. Proceeds support the delivery of Anderson Center for Autism’s educational, residential, vocational, and clinical services for autistic and neurodivergent individuals.
Said Patrick Paul, CEO/Executive Director of Anderson Center for Autism: “Each year, our golf outing proves to be equal parts fun and inspiring for our golfers, families, volunteers, and sponsors – and our 2025 event was no exception. It was a successful day on every level; we’re extremely grateful to all who support our work by participating in this annual tradition.”
Added Eliza Bozenski, Chief Development Officer, Anderson Foundation for Autism: “The Links at Union Vale is an exquisite course, which definitely makes this a popular outing for anyone who loves to get out on the greens – but I think the event sells out each year because a growing number of people are touched by autism in some way. As incidence rates rise, we connect with more and more people who want to support the cause; our fundraising events are a perfect way to do so.”
