More
than a decade ago, Rob and Kym Feidler honored their son Nolan as
they founded the fundraising golf outing Strokes for the Little
Folks. Nolan has been diagnosed with autism and the event annually
benefits the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center, its
programs and families in Phoenix, Arizona. Opening its doors in 1997,
SARRC has worked diligently to provide quality services and support
to children and families affected by autism, while searching for
answers to solve the mysteries surrounding the disorder.
Though
the Feidlers have since moved to California, their legacy of raising
needed funds and awareness was alive and well on Friday, February 28
with the ninth annual Sutton's Strokes for the Little Folks presented
by Perfect Game. This year's event teed it up midday at the beautiful
Biltmore Golf Club, with the field of nearly 100 golfers starting
their day fueled by lunch donated by an Arizona favorite, Wildflower
Bread Company. The unforgettable day was capped off by fellowship,
fabulous food and a live acoustic set performed by award winning
artist Ryan McIntyre.
As
the presenting sponsor, Perfect Game encouraged its partners to join
in the support and they stepped up. Louisville Slugger, Rawlings,
Evoshield, Oakley and Leaf Trading Cards provided gifts for the
golfers as well as auction and raffle items. Baseball Prospectus gave
up their headlines and webspace to serve as the event's promotional
partner.
The
valley also lent a hand as Sanderson Ford, Grand Canyon University,
Mountainside Fitness, Crescent Crown Beverages, Mutual of Omaha Bank,
Wholesale Floors LLC, Hardison Downey Construction, Lawyers Title
National Commercial Services and Trademark Visual all provided
support as local businesses. The Arizona Cardinals and Phoenix
Coyotes were generous in representing professional sports in the
area.
Finally,
the event helped to act as a charitable kickoff of the 2014 Cactus
League with the San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Texas
Rangers, Seattle Mariners, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Major
League Baseball all providing support.
Planning
is already underway for the 10th annual Sutton's Strokes for the
Little Folks in February, 2015. We anxiously look forward to the
continued growth of this great day as baseball, the people and
businesses of Arizona and Perfect Game all work together for a truly
worthy cause.
