The tournament takes place Saturday, May 30 at The Quarry Golf Club in Ennismore in support of Sawyer Grace and the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics Canada, also known as FAST Canada.

Organizers say golfers do not need to register as a full foursome to take part. Individual players and smaller groups are still welcome to sign up, with room remaining on the course.

Registration is $200 per person or $800 for a foursome and includes golf, a cart and dinner. Check-in begins at noon with a shotgun start set for 1 pm.

The event supports FAST Canada and ongoing fundraising efforts tied to Sawyer Grace's journey with Angelman Syndrome, a rare neurogenetic disorder that affects roughly one in every 15,000 people worldwide.

Sawyer was diagnosed shortly after her first birthday. Her family says the diagnosis came with difficult news and uncertainty about what the future might hold. Since then, they’ve continued fundraising while pushing forward through therapy and support.

There have also been milestones worth celebrating along the way. In sharing Sawyer’s story, her family noted that after a great deal of hard work and therapy, she is now walking short distances on her own.

Those interested in taking part can still register while space remains available. You can find more information by emailing Race4SawyerGrace@gmail.com.
