Safari Golf Club of Texas Partnering with inABLE to Open New Doors of Opportunity

Tee Up for Great Cause – Saturday Nov 19^th at Quail Valley in Houston, Texas

InABLE is a non-profit based in Nairobi, Kenya and in Atlanta, USA. It was co-founded by Chris Macharia, Houston resident and long-time friend of Safari Golf Club Texas. inABLE’s mission is to empower the blind and visually impaired through assistive technology.  In 2009, inABLE opened its first computer lab at the Thika Primary School for the Blind in Kenya, with a wildly popular and highly successful computer skills training program for the blind students and teachers.  

Today the students in their program can surf the web independently, communicate with their friends, use social media, type essays, blog and they even have a group of blind students designing their school website. Check out  inABLE  on YouTube video and on their website at www.inable.org. 

Safari GCTx is proud to host our November Mug tournament, which will be held at the Quail Valley Golf Club-Eldorado, in support of inABLE’s activities. As Safari GCTx first charity tournament sponsorship, members are encouraged to go all out in support of this worthy cause.  We encourage you to visit inABLE website and learn more about their activities, and donate on their website if you would like to. 

In order to maximize our support for the visually impaired children that inABLE serves, we will be taking the following steps:

• Tournament fee for the November Mug will be $20 of which, $10 will go towards inABLE cause and the rest will cover tournament expenses. 
• In support of this event Safari GCTx will donate a trophy in appreciation to the member who raises the most funds and another trophy to the member who collects from the most people, but not necessarily the most funds (golf honor system-no double dipping).
• Members are encouraged to invite their friends and families 
• Sponsor-a-hole in support of this event is greatly encouraged and prizes will be given accordingly. (this being our first charity tournament, we’ll not have signage for the sponsors on the holes, however participants will be advised on this before they tee off and during prize giving.) Companies, organizations, individuals or friends are welcome to sponsor.

Let’s take this opportunity to fund a worthy cause. May the best golfer win, and on this day we know that the blind children of Kenya will also be winners, with a hand from Safari GCTxs and from you.
